Dear Brenda,

I posted a response to your General Board post. The John B Amos Cancer Center is a comprehensive facility which also means they are staffed with an incredible financial support team. Do not trade food and bill money for your health care. There are a myriad of options that this team will explore with you. You just need to get there right away. They will not turn you away nor will they hold back, regardless of the expense, the very best and latest techniques for your situation. Trust that there are people and programs waiting for you, it's what they do, and they do it well. You do not need a referral, just walk through the door and go to reception, they'll take it from there. Do not anticipate anything, you just do not know, let faith be your strength, and allow some of the best help you. Just walk through the door and let the healing begin.

Frank
