WHAT? thats ridiculous... seriously... I know dr.s don't want to work for free, but saving lives should come first. I would go to the paper, call a columnist, explain your plight... it says a little something about the sorry state of the medical profession if no one will take someone who has a deadly disease because they have no insurance. Seriously call a reporter at the local newspaper and maybe they will take it on as a human interest story! That may do two things... shame some of the dr.s into realizing that the profession is NOT all about MONEY. And secondly maybe you will then find a dr. who is willing to help. I can't believe MD anderson either... they're a CCC for heavens sake. Realistically I know dr.s go to school for like 8 years and have bills up the wazoo when they graduate but if the ONLY reason you are in the profession is to make cash then you should not be practicing. All dr.s should be required to take on a few patients that have little or no income. IT might open their eyes to what's around them.

If you have an elderly parent living at home with you and they are incapacitated and you go out to the store for an hour and they fall out of bed, did you know that you can be charged with negligence? Well I feel the same way about this particular scenario. If you have a patient come to you and he or she has a deadly disease like cancer and doesn't get treatment in a timely fashion, you should be charged. if that patient dies.

Sorry stuff like this peeves me OFF.
I wish I could help. I'm sorry. Perhaps there is a local clinic that caters to poeple without insurance that will have her looked at? There is a financial section here on the forum. try looking there... sorry I'm canadian... and I really don't know the ins and outs of the american system.
hugs. and good luck.
