Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Help Please

By Mari Wednesday, April 16, 2008

I need some advice please.  I was suppose to fly to the cancer treatment center in chicago on the 20th of April for a consultation and then tomatherapy radiation.  My husband just found out today he got laid off of work.  Through his work he has really good insurance.  I am afraid now that I will not be able to go to chicago becuase he may not have insurance to cover this.  He is going to call his company tomorrow, someone told him they thought it only covered him for a week.  I am on social security disability.  What can I do?  Does anyone have any ideas.  Please help if you can.  I need advice.
