Hi everyone ! I'm trying to do the math here of how much chemotherapy can cost in Dubai (mom has cancer and I want her to be treated here), the word "expensive" is relative an can mean a different range of numbers to every individual so if you can give me a minimum or maximum figure per session along with the medical provider ,that would be great ! TIA

You don't mention which type of cancer your mother has but I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins Lymphoma in summer of 2013 here in Muscat. I had eight chemotherapy treatments at an approximate cost of aed40,000 each and I've just completed two years of two-monthly maintenance treatments with Rituximab. Until January 2015 each of these treatments cost equivalent of aed40,000 but the drug producers patent then expired and the cost of each treatment came down to around aed18,000. I guess that different chemotherapy treatments probably have different costs - these are what my treatments cost and I would expect them to be similar in Dubai but, obviously, this may not be the case. I wish your mother and your family all the best ? Thank you @debliz , my mother has stage two breast cancer and there seems to be stage one lung cancer as well (more test are being done to confirm)
