I : I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. Have you tried your local county hospital, they often have free programs. They should be able to offer some assistance. I recall an instance that i was made aware of regarding a patient that called cancer treatment centers of america for a similar issue, and was offered assistance; i believe he was able to get insurance through the state, and ultimately treatment at one of the centers. This is worth looking into. However this is not a guarantee as I do not know all the particulars of that case. Finally consider reaching out to a social worker through your local county. I wish you the very best.

Ideas: Here are a few ideas: - ask to speak with the social worker at your hospital, there are often programs that can help - contact your local Department of Health - consider getting coverage by visiting healthcare.gov (otherwise known as Obamacare)
