Contact your local Hospice. They often have money available for those treatments. Also if you have a life insurance policy I have read of companies that buy the policy from you which gives you the money now.
There are agencies who will help you. Talk to the American Cancer Association or the association related to the type of cancer you have. Most of these will be non-profit agencies and funded by donations of charitable folks who care.
Your hospital should be able to give you this information too.
The meds must be terribly expensive in the US. I know we pay $20 a pill for the anti nausea drug our son needs.
Contact the American Cancer Society. They can put you in touch with all kinds of resources.
Apply for public assistance in your state. They can provide you with a medical card for treatment.
Also, your Oncologist has connections with the drug companies and he has samples and/or can help you fill out an application to get your drugs at free or reduced prices. Dont be afraid to ask. The drugs are so outrageously priced they do this all of the time
PS I am an Oncology nurse.
If you go to the American Cancer Society website, they have a lot of links to organizations willing to help pay for treatment. Also, if your doctor agrees and you live close to a big city, there are always clinical trials for new cancer drugs going on. The drugs are usually free, but there’s no way to know if you’re in the control group of the study or not. Good luck.
