Aren't there any public health clinics available? I got one of my employees seen and treated at Moffitt, a CCC, without money or insurance. It's a hassle but doable if you persist.
Hell go to an ER that won't refuse you without payment.
Last resort, call a newspaper and tell them your story, i.e. cancer survivor with similar symptoms recurring and your cancer doctor (his name in BOLD LETTERS) refuses to see you without cash up front! I bet you would have an appointment the next day.
