Hi,

I'm 25 yrs old and when I was 14 I was diagnosed w Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I've been in remission for 11 yrs but unfortunately I have a lot of chronic health and dental problems which have resulted in a lot of medical bills that I cannot afford even with insurance. Does anyone know of any medical bill assistance for cancer survivors? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Medical Assitance

Contact The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, they have a program set up to help with co-pays and out of pocket expense, you have to have insurance to qualifiy, so you shouldn't have any problem. Thier web site http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org

I have no insurance and am usinsurable, I have filed for disability, I have many health problems also due to the late effects of chemo & radiation, I'm a 23 year survivor of HD.

Good Luck
