Cancer Institude that treated me had financial help according to income. Visit billing office for info. Very helpful to me. Scary time worrying about health and finances on top of that. Best wishes.0

Hope you were able to find financial assistance. LLS (lymphoma & leukemia Society), CancerCare, PAN Foundation, potentially your state has a plan that can help cover some of your financial health/drug costs. Most are based on household income (your gross income from income taxes is a good # - but also including other income). The percentages can be pretty high. Avg. is $75,000 single and around $150,000-ish for at least 2. And, depending upon your treatment plan, you could contact manufacturers of drugs you may be taking. Those are not insurance, but essentially full drug grants. You have to apply every year, but worth the time if it helps your financial situation. I got lucky for mine, LLS has helped, State has a senior plan to cover drug costs (I am single and essentially 'poor' enough for this) and 'other' foundation help keep me on my drug. I do try to 'give back' as I can to foundations that have been helping me thru the journey.0
