I came to "Anam" with my sister to undergo an examination.
Immediately after arrival, we were met at the airport and taken to the hotel, where we met our translator. It was very pleasant to learn that she is from our hometown! She helped us check into the hotel, explained where we could exchange money, and gave us a phone with a local SIM card. The impressions were very pleasant: the girl is polite, courteous, quickly resolves all arising issues — we were convinced of this many times later. If a situation arose when I needed to talk to a doctor and the translator wasn't there, I just called her, she talked to the doctor, and then with me and translated what I needed to do.
The day after arrival, examinations began. At "Anam", everything is organized very reasonably and conveniently, everything is for people — right on the hospital grounds there are shops, cafes, a pharmacy, and a bank. You can go to the desired floor in a spacious elevator or on an escalator. No queues or crowds in front of the doctor's office — while waiting for an appointment (I never had to wait long), you can sit on comfortable sofas, and a nurse will measure your blood pressure.
The examination detected a tumor, and I was sent for urgent surgery — it was performed by the head of the department using the "Da Vinci" robot. I didn't even think the surgery would be so easy, but in two days I was discharged feeling great.
I underwent the first course of chemotherapy there at the clinic and flew home to continue treatment there. But as soon as I could compare conditions, I realized that I would only undergo chemotherapy in Korea. The course is short, a couple of days, and during this time I can calmly walk around the hospital grounds thanks to convenient wheeled IV drips. After finishing, I fly home for a month, until the next course.
