Where do you go for help when you have ovarian ca. %26amp; no insurance, srs no help,ssd won%26#039;t for 6 more months? Please I need answers my friend may die before someone helps her.|||Has her oncologist said shes terminal ? or is it curable?? If shes terminal, she SHOULD be able to get SSI immediately, I did. And if shes too sick to go to them, they will do it over the phone. There are research clinical trials she may be able to get in also that would not cost her, but the important thing is to get her help ASAP! Most if not all hospitals have a fund set aside for patients who can not afford hospital bills, cant think of the name of it tho.. anyway, my aunt who is a nurse told me to go to the billing office and tell them I could not pay for my treatment (this was before i got the SSI) , and they could not turn a person down.. you have to sign a paper claiming pauper status, or did at that time. Check with her hospital and see if they have it, they will not offer it thats for sure but have to answer if they have such a program in thier hospital! Good luck and hopefully she will be getting treatment soon!
OHHHH does she or can she get Welfare, such as food stamps? Some states will give you a medical card along with the food stamps if you are sick, so that might be an option also.|||Call every University affiliated oncology center and find out if she can be entered in a research protocol. These are usually without any charge to the patient.
You can even try a google search for keywords such as %26quot;enrollment research ovarian cancer trial%26quot;.
One of the trials you should look into can be found at

Good luck and god bless you both.|||There are clinics and hospitals out there that will help her even if you do not have insurance. They will bill you but you can pay it out however much you can afford ata time, even if its only $5.00 a month as long as you pay them something. Also there may be some kind of assistance throught the state in which you live in that can help her out with the bills! Go to your local Deptartment of Human Services and ask them for help, more than likely in her situation there%26#039;s something they can do to help. Start with taking her to a clinic or hospital, make sure to ask the doctor to point you in the right direction as in what happens next. People arent going to just turn her away and let her die!

How likely is it that the ovarian cancer is being missed?
