I'd suggest looking at the website for the American Cancer Society.... http://www.cancer.org

Catholic charities is one I can think of at this time. I went through all of this when my dad was sick. If this facility is denying you treatment because you don't have the 20% after Medicare pays then find another place that will treat you. My dad had Medicare only and chances are he would have had a spend down if he had Medicaid. He was refused treatment because he didn't have the 20% which would have been $300 and some odd dollars for 16 weeks of chemo and they never offered a payment plan. I started taking my dad to the VA hospital because he was already in debt to ears and most of it wasn't from medical expenses. I won't go into further detail but if you can afford a supplemental insurance then get one. I found plans for my dad and the only stipulation was that he wasn't in renal failure (he was) for most of the ones I called. I spent hours on the computer. Good luck and God Bless.

Yes, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers, and all large medical centers see and treat large numbers of prostate cancer patients.

My daughter goes to the VA also, Any and all treatment you have will be continued by the VA where ever you go because they will transfer all your records to Florida. The only thing is, if you ever decided to get treatments outside the VA, they won't pay for it. That's what I hate about the VA. You should be alright, I'm sure the VA doctors in Pensacola are just as good as where you are coming from. Good luck, Hope you feel better soon.

You don’t mention who “they” are? If you want to be treated elsewhere make sure your doctors know and set up an appointment with a radiation oncologist in the city you are moving to and have your records sent before you arrive. This way there will be little down time.

I am not aware of preventive therapy with arsenic in conventional medicine, but it is used to treat (and cure sometimes) acute promyelocytic leukemia.
