At 52, running a small import-export company in Hanoi, my annual checkup showed elevated CA19-9 tumor marker. The doctor wanted a PET-CT, but only two hospitals in Hanoi could do it — 3-month wait. Three months of not knowing if it was cancer was torture.
My daughter studying in Australia found MyMedVia — PET-CT and full premium screening in Guangzhou, under a week from appointment to results. I was skeptical — Vietnamese patient going to China? But the cases on the website looked genuine. Filled the form, consultant communicated in Chinese (I speak some), and within 2 days had an appointment at a Guangzhou tertiary hospital's international department.
Flew to Guangzhou. That afternoon: consultation with internal medicine chief, full workup ordered — blood work, tumor markers, ultrasound, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, PET-CT. PET-CT done Day 2, all results out by Day 3 afternoon. The chief reviewed everything personally: no cancer. CA19-9 elevation from chronic gastritis and mild biliary duct dilation — just regular monitoring needed. Day 5: flew home to Hanoi.
Total cost ¥12,800, under $2,000. Same screening in Singapore would be $8,000+. Three months of anxiety eliminated. Now monitoring every 6 months, all stable.
