seeking information on help with prostate cancer treatments without insurance?
a family member has stage 3 prostate cancer. his insurance is declining to pay saying it was a pre exsisting condition. where should he go for help. obviously time is of the essence.
I dont know what stage 3 is.. BUT I had prostate cancer in 2005 and was given a harmone shot called lupron to start with .. One lupron shot will put the cancer on hold for about 4 months.. and if his cancer isnt real bad there is a possibility that it can keep him alive 8-10 years… The shots cost about $1,200.00 to $1,500.00 each.. dont know if this will work for you.. If he is near California .. he might call Loma Linda University Medical Center..Proton Radiation Department.. They treat lots of prostate cancer there and it is a Seven Day Adventist Hospital.. I have no idea if they would help him if he explained his situation.. all I know is that they are some of the nicest people I have ever met.. wish I could help more..
