Social Security or SSI can be a big help along with Welfare and local churches. Look in your local phone book under government offices. My mother-in-law has stage 4 lung cancer as well. I have taken on most of her care so I had her sign a Health Care Surrogate and a Power of Attorney so I can fill out all her paper work and go to her appointments with these companies for her. The Social Security office was amazing. They processed her disability claim very quickly and were such a big help. Good luck to you and your family.

In a country that can wage war costing billions, this situation is disgusting. My sister, God bless her died the same way in 1995. She rec'd the best of care and all the drugs needed. It didn't cost the family a cent. In Canada we have socialized medicine and hospitalization. We all have Canada Pension Plan which more than covers funeral expenses. I'm sorry dear, this is no help to you or your mom. The suggestions by the others, who are probably Americans, would know better what you have to do. God bless you, your mom and family, I wish I could at least say something more than God Bless & all my love Doug W. Halifax NS

You need to go to the case management department of the hospital where your mother has recieved treatment and ask them for help completing an application for public assistance and a medical card in the state where you live. They can help you get food stamps
They can also assist you with filling out the paperwork to obtain free or reduced price medications thru the drug companies.
Also, please go to your township and fill out an application for assistance making her house payments.
You also can go to the local welfare department to find out where to get an application for energy assistance, so her utility bills are paid this winter.

this is detrimental. My grandma died of ideas maximum cancers. i might do each and every little thing for my mom. Speech, coordination etc. is going very in the present day. this is a devestating element to witness first hand. you could desire to enable them to have their time as a kin.

The Salvation Army or a local church may be able to help you. Ask the hospital to assign a case worker to her. They will find help.

Honey,
You need to be realistic.
She has metastatic lung cancer to the brain.
Therefore she has terminal lung cancer, stage 4.
You can get your mother medicaid.
You probably need to try to sell her house.
And you may want to get Hospice in to help take care of her.

shes dying, so just give up on the meds, you arent responsible for her bills, so just let her go quietly and let the county bury her.this will ruin everyones life if you let it. im really sorry, but i had to deal with this with my mother too.
