Is there any help for people who do not have Insurance? I have LA medicaid an no one will see me except a charity hospital. I do not feel like I am getting the best care. I see a different doctor every time I go. I have tried to go to other hospitals but they will not take medicaid. I am a 50 year old widow and my husband worked many years and paid taxes. After his death I was left to fen for myself. I had a tumor removed from my colon last August but the cancer had go to my liver.  Is there any HELP OUT THERE???? I have tried  MDAnderson,  Ochsner in New Orleans and The Cancer Centers .

Hi Cheryl,

You may try City of Hope  You can go to their website to see if there is one near you.

You can also do a search for clinical trials for liver cancer.  The costs may be minimal to you since you don't have insurance.  Go to    clinicaltrials.gov      and that should guide you.  Please let me know if I can be of further help. 

 Jane
