My husband is German and our doctors have encouraged him to make a trip there. We haven't done it yet. I know that the travel will be difficult for him, but I have no concerns about being in Germany . . . if only I could just wave a wand and be there. We would be near Bonn & Cologne . . . plenty of good doctors there. I wouldn't be as comfortable if we were further from big cities and good medical care. But I wouldn't be comfortable here either if we were too far from big cities and good medical care. The Dengue Fever is certainly a complication to be taken into account. I would want to be sure all counts were OK before leaving here and know that I could get them checked there. I guess I would consider getting important parts of the records translated . . . my husband's first language is German, but he does not speak medical German and a professional translation might be helpful. I probably wouldn't want to be gone more than a month. We are closing in on two years since his diagnosis. Hope this helps.
