Dear Sir, My Father who is
Dear Sir,
My Father who is retired from R.D.S.O. Lucknow, has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. I am his only son and in a private service at Delhi. There is nobody in Lucknow who would take complete care of him during treatment, I can only go there for a maximum of 8-10 days, but I understand cancer treatment is long and very painful and drains all energy from the body.
How can I get him referred to a good cancer hospital in Delhi (Govt. or private) so that I can take good care of him and this treatment is done free of charge as it would have been done at Lucknow.
Many Thanks in apprehension,
Ritesh
