Hi everyone. My relative has received news that her chemo has stopped working, cancer has spread and her only option is a heavy duty chemo which will only possibly help her have an extra 2 months to live or hospice.
We did try getting her into the cancer hospital in PA but they dont take her insurance nor will they let us pay out of pocket.
So we need another option fast. Does anyone know of a Dr/hosptial or a patient who had some kind of similar experience but was able to get live saving help? We will go anywhere and pay whatever so please if you know anything that might help please let me know. Please feel free to message me if you would rather not post on here.
Thank you in advance!

Have you tried Memorial Sloan Kettering? My mom went there when she had cancer. My mom also went to Monter Cancer Center (associated with North Shore LIJ)
Unfortunately, my mom lost her life to cancer, but the care she received at both facilities was great.

My daughter worked at Mount Sinai in Manhattan in the radiation oncology dept and I heard such great survival stories when she was there. Keeping you and your family in my prayers

Sloan Kettering! both my parents went here and their lives were both extended for several years comfortabley until the cancer spread all of their bodies. as a nurse I fully trusted them with their doctors and other health care professionals to care for my parents.

MSK would be my advice as well. All four people I know that went there had great experiences. Good luck!
