Sorry to hear about your mother's diagnosis,but you're in the right place here that will give you support. My daughter was diagnosed with oral cancer of the tongue 4 months ago and I had the same concerns you do,her husband's insurance wouldn't cover her,so she had none. She went to one doctor that would accept payments and referred her to an ENT surgeon that would also do the same and the hospital applied for a grant for her surgery,so there is help out there for the uninsured.


I am a caregiver and parent whose adult daughter was diagnosed with stage 3,scc and who has gone through surgery,it has been 4 months since surgery and our relationship is quite strained as to where we don't talk anymore except about superficial things.Anything I say is wrong,so I don't know what to say anymore. I'm really at my wits end,trying not to take it personally.
