I am sorry that you have these problems,governments and the people in these bureaucracies can be so insensitive and unfeeling. I have been in 5 car accidents caused by self irresponsible people, and it is difficult to live on what i get for a disabilty pension. What do these bureacrats expect us to eat? cat food? If you are in the USA as I suspect you are, you might try the resources mentioned at this website http://www.mamashealth.com/women/womancount.asp You might also try these resources: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/support/financial-assistance http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa061800a.htm http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MIT/content/MIT_3_2X_Medical_Insurance_and_Financial_Assistance_for_the_Cancer_Patient.asp I hope these websites can help you find some financial assistance you deserve, Hugs
