Need so much help, not sure where to start

Try Airbnb and go onto Google to find an English speaking cancer doctor. Ask your partner to do the work; this sb simple. Most doctors have email or contact info.

You won't be on French health until you get on the plan, and you can't apply until you've been a resident at least three months. So you will need insurance to cover your prescriptions for a while. They are likely to be cheaper here anyway. Whether or not a French doctor will give you the same prescription is another matter.

There are English speaking doctors in many places in France. The US consulate or embassy might be able to provide a list for your area.

I have lived in France for the past 6 years. My daughter came over with her children for a holiday and needed some antibiotics for my grandaughter. At that time I did not have a Dr here however the Dr in the village spoke English and had no issue prescribing my grandaughter antibiotics. My daughter had the medication name but no prescription. The Dr was happy to write a script for her no charge. Obviously when getting the tablets we had to pay a little but only a few euro. I am sure you will not have any problems especially if you already have a script also cancer, heart and other incurable conditions are free in France for residents anyway.

Thank you so much for your responses, I move tomorrow and not even close to ready but hey I will figure it out….I hope

Hello Scout1070,

No need to worry much. It will be alright

Good luck for your new adventure!

I'm sure that you will love France

You can look for English speaking doctors on Doctolib (online or via the app) www.doctolib.fr. I recommend finding both a general practitioner and the specialists that you require. You can also look at the American Hospital in Paris. They have a wide range of specialties and their website is in English. https://www.american-hospital.org/en/our-specialties  Wishing you all the best with your move.
