How do I get financial help for Uncle with Lung Cancer?


My uncle just found out he has lung cancer. His job has let him go and they are taking his insurance from him. Worse yet, he will have made too much money this last year to get medicare. Disability will take way to long to get. Soon he will need help with treatment and medication costs. I just was hoping someone might have some suggestions of organizations that might be able to help us. I and my family would appreciate any help anyone can give.

see a lawyer to sue that company then.........Apply for ssi (social security) right now as it is retroactive as of the date of application. In the mean time d\apply for workmans comp on the chance that it may be work related, if that is a no go then apply for state aide which will pay for all the medications. No?? Go to Mexico, swim the river back & then re-apply for all of the above. Do not forget to vote in the elections for or against the folks that make it so hard for u.s. citizens to get help!

write to American Cancer Society and check with MD Anderson In Houston,TX or with Cancer Centers of America
Hold on, here. Why did his company let him go? Is he that sick already? And he should be using the company's COBRA option to continue his insurance. They cannot fire him because he has cancer (besides, how would they know he has cancer unless he told them). That is against the law. If this is what happened, he needs to talk to a lawyer.
you can ask help from social worker in your area or in the hospital you are referring.He can give you addresses of organizations helping such patients.Also you can ask help from your local leaders so that you can get help from govt. funds
