How much is srt therapy for skin cancer?

My mother's doctor mentioned SRT therapy for a skin lesion. We're trying to figure out the potential costs for this treatment. Any idea how much it is?

Honestly, the cost of SRT can vary wildly depending on how many sessions you need. My hospital charged about 4,000 to 7,000 rupees per session, and I had to go multiple times. It is best to check if your insurance covers non-invasive treatments because mine did partially cover it.

From what I see at the hospital, Superficial Radiation Therapy isn't available everywhere, which makes it slightly pricey. Usually, major cancer hospitals package the whole plan after your first consultation. Just get a proper breakdown from the billing desk including doctor fees so there are no surprise costs later.

The moment I read about SRT prices I got so stressed, medical bills in India can be so unpredictable. I read online that total treatment can go up to lakhs if the cycles are long, which is so scary. Please call 2-3 big oncology centers in your city directly to get the real estimation so you don't panic like me.

My family doctor explained that SRT is great for non-melanoma skin cancer because there's no cutting. He told us that in India, the machines are mostly in tier-1 metro hospitals, and a full course can range from 80,000 to 1.5 lakhs depending on the area size. Definitely sit with your oncologist to get an exact quote for your case.

Treatments like SRT can cost a good amount, so budget carefully. While you are sorting out the finances and undergoing sessions, keep your body active with light walks if your doc gives the go-ahead. Good blood circulation and a healthy routine really help the body heal from radiation.

Medical costs can be a burden on the mind, but stay strong. When my relative went through skin treatment, the financial part was heavy but we took it step-by-step and focused on calm breathing. Do not worry about the high initial quotes, many trusts and hospitals offer concessional rates if you request them.
