My boyfriend has cancer and no insurance as well. We did go to the county and got assistance that way. (Clark County in Las Vegas). All of his treatments so far is covered.
We are in the process of trying to get Social Security/Disability and Medicaid. The process normally takes six months but they do try to speed it up in cases of cancer. But I urge you get your friend to hurry as it will still take close to two months to process his application.
