Sassy,

You have had a really rough time so far..and I can believe that it would have to shake your confidence in the VA. I can't speak about VA's. But I had a thought...there have been people on here that do not have medical insurance and are getting treated for their cancers. Maybe one will see this post and be able to offer some direction.

Your profile doesn't say where in CA you are, but I would check various goverment health agencies? Or some place like a university that has a cancer center or a place similar to Cancer Therapy Research Centers. Their financial aid people will direct you if they can't help.

Just thoughts - hopefully not too far off base.

Take care and keep us posted.
