      Good Afternoon all, 

      Good Afternoon all, 

      I joined this website hoping to find help, My mother was diagonsed with anal melanoma 2 1/2 yeas ago, she has been through chemotherapy and radiation twice now and currently on her third time of radiation and soon to start chemotherapy again. About 3 weeks ago she was told, she is now terminal after finding the cancer had spread even more to include her brain. I worry about her a lot, especially since I am so far away, I am in the Marine Corps. I write today trying to find places that might offer her financial aid. While she is battling to keep her life, all she can think about is the medical bills, morgages, and other bills piling up. I hate to see her worry about these things when there might not be much time left. since her being diagonsed her health insurance has increased by $1,100 a month. If anyone knows of foundations or charities that will help her, please let me know. thank you.
