No Insurance Or Money

Hi, my name is Kathy. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 cervical cancer. I have no insurance or money. I am scared - knowing I will die - lack of treatment. I cry all the time. My stomach hurts, and now having bowel problems. Please pray for me. Because God is all I have to get me from this life to the next.

The Hill Burton organization 800-638-0742 gives grants to people who need medical care, but don't have insurance. An organization called Cancer Care 800-813-4673 also assists people without health insurance.

The links below can help people obtain free or reduced prescriptions. I hope these resources are able to help you get the care you need.

Hi Kathy
The same thing happened to me, only my scare is ovarian not cervical--I went to the ER with no money or health insurance--When the ER dr told me I had to stay overnight for a biopsy I was almost in tears worrying how to pay for this. The ER dr. put me in touch with the hospital social worker-he gave me the number to public assistance which I did not think would help me because I have a job. I was so wrong! I called the number, went in to talk to a case worker (also brought my medical records from the hospital!) and they were as nice as could be. I now have coverage with Medicaid( I left the office with coverage!) which has eased my worrying unbelievably. I had to swallow my pride but this was a matter of life or death. MINE! And I did it--please don't give up-exhaust all options and then be persistant and do it again. Also many hospitals have grants that are there for people who cannot pay-tell admissions when you go and get the forms---it never hurts to apply! Good luck with everything!--I wish you the very best!....Christine

I have been getting my Cancer Medication from Canada for over a year. Locally what I was paying was so expensive I was expecting to have to sell my house because I couldn’t save enough for the taxes. Getting my medication from Canadian Prescription drugs has enabled me to stay in my home.
