your dad
Maryanne,
I am sorry your dad is expiencing such problems,,are you in the United States?
I WOULD CALL HIS SURGEON WITH THE PROBLEM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, ALSO THERE ARE MANY PLACES OF ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH ABOUT THE FINANCIAL NETWORK.
ADDRESS HIS SURGEON ABOUT THIS SITUATION,,,then contact The American Cancer Society about how to deal with the financial part...let me know how it goes!! Gene0 -
