i am currently staying with family, but the cost of everything has broken the bank. I am so supproised by how little help there is for cancer patients out there. How do people live while fighting for there lifes.
if anyone knows of any organizations that can help just to meet the bills it would be very helpful
thank 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.
