Is Cancer Care Change Due To Relocation Recommended?

I have my father who lived in Michigan and was seeing his primary Dr and specialist. Because it was found that he has stage 2 Prostate Cancer. He just decided to move to Illinois with me. Even after he had already started his steroid shots and was to start his radiation shots to start treating his cancer. Not only with the Cancer my father has other health issues. I am not feeling very good about him moving out of state. When has his Dr s in Michigan that know more about his conditions and what has been done to treat him for his various health issues. I am not sure if it will be a good idea for him to start all over with Dr s here in Illinois. I am afraid that it might prolong getting his needed treatment for his cancer and all other health issues his has. And his health can get worst. Plus not sure if Dr s will take him as a patient because of existing health issues and treatments. I really think it will be a good idea for him to return to Michigan and continue his treatments and completed them. Once his Dr s out there have cleared him from the cancer and any follow ups, then maybe he can think about moving out of state. What problems with he encounter if he was to stay and not go back to his home state to continue his visits and treatments with his already Dr s?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has prostate cancer. Treatment is chemotherapy. He can start chemotherapy and then he can shift to other state. Once his regime is decided then treatment remains same allover world. So don't worry about that. Just carry complete file and reports of his other health issues. No need to worry. He can shift.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
