Financial assistance

I'm back for more advice.. I'm in day 72 after my auto stem cell procedure. In my work field (working with individuals with idd) I'm not sure when I can return to work until I have received some of my vaccines. So finances have been stretched thin. What kind of help it out there. All of the grants are that I have looked up seems like I'm not a candidate for. Any advice helps. Thank you

  1. Happy all is going okay. Regarding the financial options ...they can be vast and take some leg work. I've clipped a resource guide you may or may not have reviewed. Another possibility is asking to speak with a social worker; they will have additional access that you may not be privy to. Wishing you the very best in the outcome!

    1. You may also want to reach out to the various drug manufacturers who often offer discounts and more to patients who need help along the way. Another option is contacting your hospitals Ombudsman or Social Services Dept Often charges can be reduced right from the start of treatment . Dennis(Blood-Cancer.com TEAM)
