What is the best cancer treatment center? Do they take insurance or it comes out of pocket? Please help? I just found out my dad has cancer and is going to get surgey this week. What is the best place to help cancer? Is there any in Massachusetts? Does insurance pay for that type of places or does the patient pay? I will get money or get a loan or something I don't care I am just wondering how it works. Do you just call and make an appointment? Is it usually a long wait? I don't kno what kind he had bc my parents just told me today and I am afraid to ask. I am 18 so if there is anything else I can do to help him I will do it if you guys can think of anything.

Dana-Farber in Boston is very good, as is Sloan Kettering in New York. Almost all hospitals/health care providers take insurance, but your parents need to find out if the provider takes whatever insurance they have. I would guess if your father is having surgery this week, then his care will be covered by insurance and he has already picked his caregiver. All you can really do is sit back, support your dad and be there when he needs you.

Depends on the type of cancer. There's no one single BEST facility, for ALL cancer types. What insurance covers, depends on the type of insurance you have. Cancer treatement is EXTREMELY expensive. The vast majority of patients can't afford to pay for treatment - they have insurance that pays for some of it. You know you'd be looking at a six figure loan? Darned hard to qualify for that these days. I'd suggest you probably want to call the American Cancer Society, to find out about recommendations near you. 1·800·ACS·2345
