Need Help

Hi my name is Christine and my dad has lung cancer. He lives in Texas and the air there is unbarable for him he would like to come out here to Arizona where it is dryer he seems to breath better here and this is where his kids are BUT the hospital he is at now has him on Charity due to him having no Insureence and only income being disability does anyone know where we can go in AZ to find him help with Insurence needs that won't charge him or atleast not to much as he really has no income. I want to thank you all so very much for taking the time to read this and i hope you all are getting what you need to help you.

From experience, have him move to your home or in the city where the hospital is located. Then apply through the social worker at hospital for hospital grants. Hospitals are given grants that are for patients without income or insurance. My mom had to apply unfortunately she did not live in the same city as the hospital. But an undidentified donor helped her a little. So thankful for those kind people. Either the social worker at hospital or patient/financial services at the hospital should be able to help.

Hi Christine,

I totally feel for you. I was a caregiver to my father who passed
away from colon cancer. I myself am also a cancer survivor. You can only
imagine the amount of stress my family was under to pay for care in addition to
making sure that both my father and I had the care that we needed. I wanted to
share this post that I did as resource for your dad on managing the costs of treatment
http://blog.cincovidas.com/managing-the-costs-of-treatment.
You can also visit http://www.thecancerblog.com/2007/01/09/the-cost-of-fighting
which lists programs that assist cancer patients in paying for care.

 

I hope this helps.

Love, strength and survival,

Britta
