3.10. What to do when diagnosed with cancer in Iceland?
In this last episode of the third series, Anna María Milosz sits down with Thora and tells us about her experience with cancer and the healthcare system in Iceland as a foreigner. Anna Maria is Polish and was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2007. She tells us about the cancer and her overall experience being a foreigner with cancer, what can be done better and what is already good. She recommends that cancer patients take family and/or friends with them to doctors appointments and reminds us that everyone has a right to an interpreter. She also encourages people to contact Kraftur or Ljósið to get the support they need.
