Your first stop should be your doctor. Be honest & tell him that you need help. Your second stop is the American cancer society. You can also look into your specific type of cancer. For example, the American leukemia foundation helps those with leukemia, Susan M. Cohen foundation helps with breast cancer. There really is an awful lot of help out there, you just have to know where to look. The American Cancer society can put you into touch with all of the different organizations that can help you, including the manufacturer of the drugs that you need.

Are you talking about financial help? Most drug companies offer patient assistance programs to help cover costs of medication........find out the maker of the medication and go to their website and look for patient assistance programs. There is usually forms to fill out and some for your doctor to sign.
If it is help taking or administering meds call a home health agency in your area they are certified to do medical administering and monitoring for ambulatory patients, if you qualify under home health guidelines..

If you ar etalking about administration of the meds - many times someone from your pharmacy can help refer you to someone in the home health care agency that will come and dispense meds for you.
If it is for financial help to buy your meds, you can check with your doctors who have connections wtih agencies - or the doctor can probably give you samples until which time you can pay for them yourself.

all drug companies have programs to help patients pay for their medicines, contact the maker of the medicine you need - there is a ministry in Texas called helping hands that helps people with this - I don't know how to contact them but I know they are out there - Good Luck
