Anyone suffered with rare Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma?
I have a family member who was recently diagnosed with this form of rare cancer. She is currently battling with the university of washington in Seattle to pay for treatment. She has no insurance and they want 80k up front before they will begin treatment. Even though they have told her that she cannot wait to start radiation due to the severity of this cancer and its survival rate. Funny how now they can put an 80k price tag on her life. She may have a 5 year life span if this is treated right away. Saddest part is that she is only 35 years old and has a husband and four children at home. So any advice or someone who is familiar with this would be appreciated. Thankyou FYI: She did get medicaid and they are going to pay for 50% of the treatment. However they will not even begin to treat her until she comes up with 80k. They cannot discount her because she is no longer a resident of Washington, even though she was born and raised there. I find this to be insanely inhumane on thier part.
