Check with the makers of the medicine directly. Sometimes they have programs to lower costs of meds.

Prayers and hugs.

The doctors should be able to give you addresses. There should be someone in the billing office who would have the list.

That is so hard to have to face for both of you. My heart goes out to you with prayers. If she was a child I could say St Jude treats at no cost. How I wish there was a hospital like that for adults. My son was treated at St Jude for 3 yrs before he passed away. We never received a bill. I know that God will provide a way forward. He always does.

Each state has different programs and funding that may be able to provide assistance.

If nothing else, call 877-336-7287, the number for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing in Lewiston, Maine. They may be able to direct you.

There is the “Gofundme” that might help a little.

.
Get her immediately on small doses of Baking Soda daily.

(Half teaspoon)

Cancer does not live in an alkaline body.

Metatrol is also helpful, but somewhat costly.

You are on Georgia. Check the Cancer Center of America that is in Atlanta as well as Emory university hospital.

CANCER WARRIORS PING

Question from Dacula:

My wife has stage 4 metastatic cancer. She has battled this before and survived twice. This time the cancer has reached her brain and the doctors are a bit more apprehensive than before. Does anyone know about grants? All of her doctors are telling us to apply for grants to pay for her medicine. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am so sorry to hear of your struggle.

God bless your wife and you. Keep praying.

I know nothing of paying for treatments. Avoid the alternative nonsense and make sure you proceed with real medicine. My sister wasted a month with chemicals of pretty colors on certain schedules when they found she had it in her brain. No time to try foolishness.

Unless your wife is diabetic, might I suggest a ketogenic diet (one extremely low on carbs). From what I read, cancer cells cannot absorb ketones — the product of fat burning — but they can absorb glucose. Meanwhile, healthy cells can absorb both ketones and glucose.

The problem with putting diabetics on a ketogenic diet is that it can be deadly for them specifically.

I lost my mother to cancer in 2013, and found out a lot from that battle. There are natural things that can slow it down. Shark oil and shark cartilage are held by some in the natural health community to be effective.

Lessons learned:

#1. Stay away from ALL sugar. Sugar feeds cancer! Cancer has a lot in common with fungal conditions. Cancer eats sugar for food, and sugar makes our bodies friendly to cancer growth.

If you have a sweet tooth, look into cooking with stevia, and all-natural sweet herb. There are stevia brands now that taste almost like sugar but don’t raise blood sugar.

#2. Stay hydrated! Cancer doesn’t grow as quickly in a well-hydrated body. There was a study that showed that most cancer patients are dehydrated. Dehydration puts the body in a state that promotes cancer growth.

You should try to get in touch with a patient support group for the type of cancer that your wife has. People there who have gone through the same thing will be able to point you in the right direction with regard to the most effective scientifically based treatments and options for paying for them.
