If I am not comfortable driving in Mexico are there any other options?
YES, there are two other options.
1) Drive to the border on Interstate 5 South until you come to the last USA exit which is Camino de la Plaza. Take this exit and continue straight into the Paid Parking Lot ($9.00 per day). Park in this lot and follow the signs that lead you into Mexico by walking. Immediately after crossing the border you will see the YELLOW TAXI station. Please ask the taxi driver to take you to Avenue del Pacifico #650, Playas de Tijuana, B.C., MX. Inform the driver that the destination is near the BULLRING in Playas de Tijuana. The approximate cost should be $10.00 each way.
2) Another option is to call the clinic 619-308-7102 and arrange for our driver to pick you up on the US side of the border. At that time, a designated meeting place will be arranged. Our driver will take you to our facility and then return you to the border after your appointment.

What are the costs for treatment at the Hope4Cancer Institute?
Costs vary upon diagnosis and the treatment plan designed for you. Prior to your arrival to Hope4Cancer Institute, you will have a telephone consultation with a physician about your recommended treatment protocol. You will then be directed to our Patient Liaison personnel to discuss cost and room availability.

How long is the treatment at the Hope4Cancer Institute?
The average stay at Hope4Cancer Institute for Sono-Photo-Dynamic Therapy is 10 days. If your diagnosis does not require Sono-Photo-Dynamic Therapy, your treatment protocol will be individualized according to your needs. Every cancer must be treated specifically to its cell type and your physician will determine the length of stay after he has reviewed your records
Back to the questions
Is there a follow-up program at the Hope4Cancer Institute?
Our philosophy at the Hope4Cancer Institute is to embrace each patient entirely as a member of our family. To fulfill this obligation we insist on bi-weekly interviews between the physician and the patient until both feel that the situation the patient is facing is under control. We will continue monitoring your supplements, lab results, and all scans in conjunction with your local physician after your return home. Your future is important to us. Let's face it together as a family.
