If her job laid her off, she needs to apply for unemployment for at least some money to help with personal finances. I have a friend whose job tried to do that to her and she got a lawyer and sued. If she has no insurance, she needs to contact financial services at the hospital. Many times, they will give a discount to self pays. They are going to max out the bills for insurance to pay. My sister works for an eye dr and that's what they do in billing.

She needs to get in touch with a local chapter of the American Cancer Society or other cancer organizations. Possibly there could be some help or type of counselors where she was diagnosed with cancer. The hospital or doctors office could have information to assist with it. I know where my wife goes there are people that can direct her to funds and resources available to her for some expenses. Fighting cancer is very expensive. My wife is fighting breast cancer and in several months expenses are over $100,000.
