Could really use your help!
As many of you know, about a month ago my father got diagnosed with cancer at the age of 61. If you haven't been reading you can check out my previous posts on my dad's cancer.
We are only one month in and the bills are piling up faster that we can keep up. We have set up a fund that some members have already donated to(thank-you to them). If anybody can spare any cash, even if it is just $10, it would really ease a problem my dad does not need right now. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help and I'm sorry for wasting anyones time that isn't in the position to help or care to help at this time.
Checks can be made out to: The Peterson Cancer Fund
and can be mailed to: Steve Peterson

You Have my sympathy. I take care of my grandmother who is a stroke victum and had to **** away all her meager assets to get her on medicaid because her husband worked at LTV and they took away her medical unless she paid $1200 a month. Her pension is down to $140 a month + SS of $800 you can see how that does not work.
If I may suggest something to look into get a lawyer.Sheild your dads assets now as best you can and declare bankruptcy when the treatment is over.Our health care system will eat up a lifetime of savings in one year during a catastrophic illness as I am sure you know.Once the assets are taken care of try and get him qualified for medicaid.Good luck

I think whoever you talked to at the VA does not know what they are talking about. My dad had insurance when he had cancer and the VA hospital took care of him. They billed what they could to his insurance and he only had to pay his deductible and medicine.
