Thanks so much for your answers and encouragement. She doesn't qualify for Medicaid in Colorado because she doesn't have kids (go figure). I'm having her apply for SSI tomorrow. The ACS was wonderful at providing info on the cancer but had no suggestions for financial aid. What cancer center has a program for those with no money?? I was going to call the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center tomorrow. We're in Colo. Springs. Memorial did the surgery and hasn't started billing her yet. Don't know what will happen when they do - she is relying on my mom's help just to pay rent right now but is going back to work tomorrow. ANY ideas about financial help or care is so, so appreciated! You are all amazing!
