where can i get financial assistance due to cancer?
i was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in september 07. I have since gone through chemo and radiation treatment and had surgery on the 28th of february 08. I developed problems after the surgery and have not been able to work but three weeks since september 07. I am a military retiree and most of the hospital bills have been taken care of but money for everyday living expenses such as rent,utilities.groceries has also ran out. Due to being a military retiree I am not eligible for any government programs and i was just wondering if someone had any information on any other programs that i could check into. I am not asking for a handout as i fully intend on paying any money i might receive for assistance back in full. thank you for any assistance in this matter

are you from the US or the UK?
in the UK there is a cancer Charity called Mcmillan Cancer care and they work with families affected by cancer, offering both emotional and financial support.
i don’t know how much you would be eligible for, but give it a go!
if you’re in the US maybe look online for similer schemes in your area.
