HOW DO YOU LOOK AT A MAN 2 YEARS BEFORE HIS PREVENTABLE CANCER DEATH, AND YOU CAN'T DO A THING! AND THIS IS TEXAS/ USA!
Just got off the phone with a wife of a man with stage IIIB Penile cancer. Their largest problem is not the cancer, but the lack of insurance and lack of money. He needs Cisplatin, a drug older than myself, but can't afford it. He has positive inguinal node but can't afford a consultation with the radiation therapy DR. What to do? As an Oncologist I am offering my service, but this is not going to save the man.
It is a time like this that challenges your soul, you just want to run from this misery of mind and hide!
It is a time like this that universal Insurance makes complete sense, but it will come too late for this one man!
If you can help, call our clinic 915-307- 3354! And it is not the only case, I also have this 38 year old woman with unresectable Angiosarcomas in the liver.... same story....call if you can help!
