Thyroid Cancer Therapy

Question: I need financial assistance for my radioactive iodine therapy. I am a first stage cancer of the thyroid.? I am papillary carcinoma cancer stage 1 and I need an immediate medication. Radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) is very expensive for me. I am in need of financial assistance or a sponsor that could help me for the said therapy. I was operated for a total thyrodictomy.

Answer: I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer. I had the same kind and had my thyroid removed as well. I don't know about the hospital writing off the bill. Usually they'll try to charge you no matter what and possibly send you to collections. I would try to invest in health insurance. You will need to be on medication for the rest of your life and the medication will likely be expensive without it.
