any ideas?

Question

my mother is suppose to start her chemo next week but at her doctor appointment today they told her that she had to pay 4,000 bucks up front that the insurance wouldn't pick up in order to start her chemo...any ideas or suggestions?

Answer 1

most clinics allow you to do a payment plan with no interest, which is good. That is what I have been doing with my cancer bills that have piled up.

Answer 2

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.

You are getting the runaround. I've seen this happen before, where the doctors don't pay enough attention until the cancer is very serious, and then they can make money from you or your insurance company. The only problem is that it is hard on YOU.

Medicine is a $2.1 trillion a year business in this country, and the system is set up to suck the wealth and life out of the American public. Of the people who elect to have chemo, radiation,and/or surgery for cancer,only 1 in 3 live for 5 years after diagnosis, and that number hasn't changed significantly in the last 30 years, despite many billions being spent of 'research' every year.

I have cancer now. I'm disgusted with the system, and have turned to alternative medicine since my doctors have told me there is no hope. Bitter? Yes, I am--and my anger has motivated me to learn about blacklisted, totally effective, natural methods of disease control.

You are just starting in the meat grinder right now, and I strongly urge you to look for an answer besides artificial drugs, surgery and radiation. Here are some books I have read from cover to cover, that are now helping me to survive way beyond my doctors' grim predictions--

"The Cure For All Advanced Cancers"
"The Cure for All Cancers"
"A Cancer Therapy"
"Oxygen Therapies"
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle"
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium"
"Killing Cancer The Jason Winters Story"
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About"

There are many other good books about surviving this disease, and you should know about this option, even if you choose to go the traditional route with it's abysmal prognosis.

Am sending this along because you will never hear it from your doctors--

There are more and more reports by establishment oncologists doubting the value of chemotherapy, even to the point of rejecting it outright. One of these, cancer biostatistician Dr. Ulrich Abel, of Heidelberg, Germany, issued a monograph titled Chemotherapy of Advanced Epithelial Cancer in 1990. Epithelial cancers comprise the most common forms of adenocarcinoma: lung, breast, prostate, colon, etc. After ten years as a statistician in clinical oncology, Abel became increasingly uneasy. "A sober and unprejudiced analysis of the literature," he wrote, "has rarely revealed any therapeutic success by the regimens in question in treating advanced epithelial cancer." While chemotherapy is being used more and more extensively, more than a million people die worldwide of these cancers annually - and a majority have received some form of chemotherapy before dying. Abel further concluded, after polling hundreds of cancer doctors, "The personal view of many oncologists seems to be in striking contrast to communications intended for the public." Abel cited studies that have shown "that many oncologists would not take chemotherapy themselves if they had cancer." (The Cancer Chronicles, December, 1990.)
"Even though toxic drugs often do effect a response, such as a partial or complete shrinkage of the tumor, this reduction does not prolong expected survival," Abel finds. "Sometimes, in fact, the cancer returns more aggressively than before, since the chemo fosters the growth of resistant cell lines." Besides, the chemo has severely damaged the body's own defenses, the immune system and often the kidneys as well as the liver.
In an especially dramatic table, Dr. Abel displays the results of chemotherapy in patients with various types of cancers, as the improvement of survival rates, compared to untreated patients. This table shows:
-In colorectal cancer: No evidence survival is improved.
-Gastric cancer: No clear evidence.
-Pancreatic cancer: Study completely negative. Longer survival in control (untreated) group.
-Bladder: No clinical trial done.
-Breast cancer: No direct evidence that chemotherapy prolongs survival; its use is "ethically questionable."
-Ovarian cancer: No direct evidence.
-Cervix and uterus: No improved survival.
-Head and neck: No survival benefit but occasional shrinkage of tumors.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

I am so sorry for your news. I would check with my dr to see if I could make payments on the 4k and then they could bill my insurance after the last payment was made. My dr did that with me for the birth of my daughter, good luck.

Answer 5

can buy alternative natural cures for the cancer. Try looking up cesium chloride with rubidium and DMSO, oxygen drops, ip6 pills, Vitamin C (liquid kind that is placed in an iv that goes straight to your arm) and fresh aloe vera plants. With the Aloe Vera plants, you can get one at the local flower shop. Cut off the pricks. Then cut a chunk to throw into the blender with vanilla icre cream. This is extremely bitter, but its a known natural cure against cancer in my country. Its cheap too. Wonder why nobody said it ha? For cesium chloride, get the one with rubidium because rubidium helps the body absorb the cesium chloride. There is one with DMSO, which is another known cancer killer. You must eat bananas and/or potatoes after you take the cesium chloride to replenish the potassium that you have lost taking the medicine. Oxygen drops are used so that your body can take in more oxygen. Cancer cannot live at the site of oxygen. IP6 pills are just extracts of brown rice. They bind with the iron in the cancer cells. Iron is the building blocks of cancer. So without it, they wither away and die. Also, cut off all iron from your diet. You can also help take the iron out of your diet by eating brown rice instead of white rice. The brown rice binds with iron in your whole body, thus taking out any that you accidently eat or cant avoid. The vitamin C you really have to yell at the doctors to administer it. Its a known cancer killer in the medical community. But nobody knows about it because its too cheap to be called a cancer cure. If you can get them to administer it, its going to be Vitamin C 1 mmol/L and or 10 grams per 12 hours. This goes straight to your blood so it can take cancer out in a matter of hours. The vitamin C pills dont work because they have lost their ability after they were put into pills. You really have to just keep yelling to get this medicine. Um, get a doctors note from your family doctor. Then call the hospital and ask them that you want this vitamin C. Dont tell them you have cancer. Then tell them to fax the letter over, or send it to you. With this, go to the hospital and tell them you want vitamin C so that your mom can get rid of her colds. She has a weak immune system, etc etc. All of these will cost you alot less then the 4 grand you need for chemo therapy. Chemo is bad though because your mom can die right away from it. And also, even if she does beat the cancer, her body is completely deteriorated. So, have all of these sent to you next day and you should be fine. Um, the aloe vera alone can kill everything, but sometimes its not enough because the cancer is too large. So, take these in combinations. Take the aloe vera right away because its available in the flower shops. Good luck.
