I had a cancer a year back and I am doing better now - rather I can say I'm perfectly fit. But of course, the chance of it recurring it still there (for the next 5 years at most). If I move to Sweden and for some unfortunate reason, my cancer recur, will I be entitled for health care benefits? If so, how much? Is there any website which actually discusses this benefit for immigrants?
Thank you..

I think it might depend on your Swedish immigration status, Laiko. If you are an EU citizen, or have a residency permit, then I think you are covered. If you are in Sweden on a tourist, study, or work visa, then you may well have to cover some of those costs yourself.
