    Have you call the American
    Have you call the American Cancer Society? 1-800-ACS-2345. They might be able to help. They do have all kinds of support programs.

    Good luck to you.

    I agree...
    ACS also knows of grant programs that can help with the costs. Also, the drug companies have programs for people who are in need.

    You might also connect with some of the local churches. There are many that support survivors. Also, consider help through SSI. In California, the health piece is named Medi-Cal...it's for people that can't afford health care.

    Hugs, Kathi
