2 months agoHello everyone. My name is Paul David, I'm 38 years old. I was diagnosed with gastric carsanoma in August of 2024. At the time I was diagnosed I was incarcerated. I started my chemo treatments, went thru 4 cycles of regimen flot 4. As of now I haven't had a treatment since February of this year, 2025. Only thing I've had done was have my port flushed. As of now I haven't been able to have anything done. After being released, I moved to Georgia with my wife. Neither one of us can work at the moment, and are without insurance. Does anyone know of any insurance or program that will help in our situation. If so please let me know. I will keep all you warriors in my prayers. Fight the battle we're not alone. God bless you.
Accepted Answer
Finding cancer treatment without insurance after a move can feel overwhelming, but there are several programs designed to help in situations like this. Georgia has resources including Medicaid expansion, hospital charity care programs, and cancer-specific assistance through organizations like the American Cancer Society and CancerCare that may help cover treatment costs. Many cancer centers also have financial counselors who specialize in connecting patients with funding options and sliding-scale payment plans. The Georgia Department of Public Health and local 211 services can provide information about state-specific programs for cancer patients. Reaching out to the social work department at nearby cancer treatment facilities is often a good starting point, as they're familiar with local resources and can help navigate the application processes for various assistance programs.
