Try Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa, Fl. They have helped my mother and a good friend of mine afford all the treatment they need. They are an outstanding facility, I highly recommend them. Good luck, I hope she'll be ok.

Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day – about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water – Vit C is a natural diuretic.

Why dont you try some natural cures? Try some cesium chloride with rubidium and DMSO, oxygen drops, ip6 pills and fresh aloe vera. Get a fresh aloe vera plant from a local flower shop and cut off the pricks. Then cut a chunk off to throw into the blender with vanilla ice cream. This is going to be extremely bitter, but it will help alot. Do this for a whole week. And aloe plants are relatively cheap. After taking cesium chloride, you must eat bananas and/or potatoes to replenish the potassium that you have lost. There are also some cesium chloride with DMSO included inside. This is another known cancer cure. The IP6 pills take iron out of cancer cells. Iron is the building blocks of cancer cells. Oxygen drops just help your body get more oxygen. Cancer cannot live at the site of oxygen.
Vitamin C therapy does work, but its extremely difficult to get. Hospitals have it, but you have to argue and fight for it. Once you get it though, your body will be fine. I would say 1 mmol/L and/or 10 grams per 12 hours. Um, these cures should cost you less then $200 dollars. Good luck...

Hospitals are not allowed to withhold treatment, even if the patient is not able to pay. Since you did not go into detail, I'm not able to tell you much except for that most counties have a health dept where she can see a doctor and be referred to a surgeon.

She should contact the local chapter of social services and American Cancer Society. If she is deemed to be terminally ill, she should also contact hospice.

What part of florida are you in? I work at a cancer center and the doctors here often take patients with no insurance. You just need to find a doctor that will take your mom's case. Try one of the larger hospitals or cancer centers in your area. A lot of them have funding and grants. good-luck.

You mother would have to live in a 3rd world country not to get the money to pay for cancer surgery. In the USA, no one is going to let your mother die of cancer because she has no money to pay for the surgery. This is where medicare, medicaid and fee medical service work.

Medicaid would be a place to turn. Also your local chapter of The American Cancer Society might have to resources you can look into. Aidpage.com is a good place to go to find resources to help. Really sorry about your mom. I hope she gets help soon.

My mother had a lot of medical bills that she couldn't afford to pay, and she spoke to someone in the hospital who gaver her some forms to fill out for grants. There are groups out there who will pay your medical bills if you have a good enough reason. Just have her talk to her hospital. They should be able to work something out with her. Also, she should be able to get a medical card, but it takes awhile to get accepted so you should go ahead and start looking into it.

There are 3 issues that are evoked. First have a communication with the physician and the scientific institution to verify in the event that they are in a position to place in writing down a number of the charges of the surgical technique. My breast maximum cancers physician replaced into not on my coverage yet she wrote down an element of the fee of my surgical technique that coverage does not cover. If the 1st physician won't try this, communicate with a pair others. Many attempt to help sufferers with out coverage. the fee of surgical technique - the two from the scientific institution and the physician is frequently negotiable. some grant fee plans. people don't be attentive to this. 2d, many breast maximum cancers surgical procedures could nicely be finished outpatient. I had a lumpectomy, axillary node removing and a hysterectomy multi functional day (2 surgeons in touch and that i replaced into below 3 hours) yet I recovered nicely sufficient to flow abode an analogous day. in spite of a mastectomy, it somewhat is accessible to flow abode same day - lots of my physician's sufferers do - even mastectomy sufferers. in case your mom is a lumpectomy, there's no reason she will't. not having an in one day scientific institution stay somewhat cuts down your expenditures. in case your mom is in any different case healthful different than for many cancers, and her surgical technique is scheduled early interior the day, it somewhat is rather available. My neighbor had cervical maximum cancers and did not have coverage and he or she did precisely an analogous element along with her surgical technique to maintain her expenditures down. i replaced into chuffed to flow abode and did in simple terms positive in improving - in fact i replaced into delighted to be abode and not in a scientific institution. ultimately, there is a corporation stated as Care credit which will supply financing for scientific care, with the 1st numerous months activity loose. See in case you are able to qualify for that. sturdy success to you and your mom.
