Does anyone know of any anal cancer funds out there to help people with bills? I have paid ny total out of pocket of $6000 but now have no money for other bills. The hospital wants your payment prior to doing procedure, so I had no choice. Now I'm having a hard time paying my house payment. I have to take days off of work for further resting and have no vacation/sick time left so the paychecks are small. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I am so saddened to hear of your situation.  I am not aware of any such funding.  I know that when I was going through treatments the doctor's office had someone that would assist with financial aid, perhaps your doctor's office can advise you.  The only other thing I can think of is a fund raiser.

    Best Wishes,

    Grants

    The staff at your oncologist office should be applying for grants for you to assist with your out of pocket cost. This helps trmendously depending on he drugs you receive they can also apply for grant programs from the drug companies it's terrible the treatment cost go beyond what the insurance will pay
