I need someone who can help

If you cant get treatment, your last ditch attempt for treatment would be to come to the UK and present yourself at one of our large hospitals. They rarely charge foreign nationals especially if you are english speaking.

Whatever you do, please do it very soon as kidney cancer can be put into remission -- maybe even permanent remission -- if the tumor remains under 4 centemeters.  Anything above that would be a tremendous fight.  My brother is fighting Stage 4 kidney cancer (his tumor was removed in September, 2007 and it was 9 centimeters) and now it's a terrible battle which he may be losing.  If you are anywhere near the Moffett Center in Florida, they are conducting studies on kidney cancer and may accept you as a patient without insurance.

I have worked all my life and within the last 6 months I have become unemployed. I have no health insurance and I have been diagnosed with a solid mass on my kidney.  I can't get the treatment I need because I have no insurance and I know nothing about who to talk to or what to do.  I am scared and I need some who knows what to do.  Is there anyone who knows where I can go or how to get the care I need?  I was diagnosed in December and the mass was 2.3 cm three weeks later I had a repeat CAT scan and it had grown to 2.4. If anyone could help you would be saving my life.

I am in New Jersey but I will still look into that cancer center becuase I have found some places that will pay for your plane fair for treatment.  I am so sorry to hear about your brother and he is in my thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for taking the time to write.

I'm not sure where you are located but the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD accepts cancer cases and provides care and treatment free of charge.
