I don't think it matters what religion you are, if they can help they will. Good luck and please keep us updated.
I'm actually from there and could stay with friends if I could find a way to get the surgeries and treatment I need. What hospital is it?
I'm calling the Cancer Society and Catholic Charities tomorrow. Thanks for that!

Note Erins response on "illegal to turn me away" because that is the reality of it.
