Have you thought about doing a GoFund me page. Also check with American Cancer Society

I am so sorry Blessed1; that is what makes me so mad about the American health system; if you get sick - with a major disease and cannot work - you are screwed.
Do you have family you can live with? how about a gofundme or calling some hospitals?

Hello Breast Cancer forum!
I have had a few questions about where to find financial assistance for breast cancer treatments, so I am re-energizing this discussion!
Have you or someone you know successfully received financial assistance for their breast cancer treatment? Share the success stories!
Was there a successful GoFund me, American Cancer Society, a charitable hospital? Where can someone look for help?
I'll tag a few newcommers to see if they have a story they would like to share!

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

I have been fighting Cancer since 7/2015. Disability cut my check and it is hard paying bills... all cancer groups only Assistance 1 time a year.. and then want help any more.. the area I live in the churches don’t help. You have to be a member of their church.. it is one thing to have Cancer but to be homeless with Cancer is worst!
Please help me!
