Trish,

I am so sorry that you have to worry about your daughter in addition to taking care of yourself. Please click on this site; it appears to be a good overview of ways that your daughter might be able to obtain the care she may well need. http://www.cancercare.org/pdf/fact_s...nancial_en.pdf

In particular, it seems like she should contact a local public or non-profit hospital and speak with a social worker about a charity care program. Also, Medicaid benefits may be available to your daughter. Additionally, she may be eligible to be screened and covered for treatment under the Breast and Cervical Treatment Act of 2000. Your daughter may want to contact the Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation for further guidance. http://www.alamobreastcancer.org/index.html While it is a breast cancer organization, they should be able to point her in the right direction.

Best of luck to you both.

Cynthia
