Why Go Private?

Some cancer drugs are not available on the NHS on the basis of cost or have yet to be analysed by the NHS, but may have improved outcomes. Private medical care allows you to access such drugs in the hope of achieving this best possible outcome. Examples include Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, Bevacizumab, and Olaparib.

Private medical care gives you the opportunity to have your chemotherapy delivered in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you.

Chemotherapy often takes place in hospital which can take up so much more time – time to get yourself to the hospital, time to find parking, time to be checked into the chemotherapy suite, time for the chemotherapy drugs to be made up and given to you, time to get yourself home again. Your time is precious and a lot of this time could be saved having the chemotherapy brought to you at home at your convenience.

Some patients are very private about their health problems and the thought of having chemotherapy in a room surrounded by other cancer patients, hearing about all their problems, cancer related or otherwise brings feelings of anxiety and sadness. Having chemotherapy at home allows you to deal with your cancer privately without anyone needing to know you are even receiving chemotherapy and ultimately ensures you are treated no differently by your family or friends.

Dr Mansy is registered with most of the largest private medical insurance companies ensuring you are covered for private oncology medical care.
