john Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 NOTE: This link says that all costs of trials done at NCI are free: Clinical trials at most hospitals require patients to pay for their medical care. However, at the NCI’s Bethesda, Maryland campus, all medical services are provided at no charge to clinical study participants. You will only be responsible for the travel costs related to your screening visit. http://ccr.cancer.gov/trials/patients/joinstudy.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 NIH was wonderful to me. Radiation, Surgery, Scans, Nutritional supplements, prescription medications. One year of PT. 21 days in the hospital, first class care. 14 hour surgery. Cannot say enough about the surgical group and support team. Money is tighter under the new director, but if you're fortunate enough to be enrolled in any clinical protocols here, you are in good hands. My surgeon was world class. Also, NCI has information about cancer treatments and trials all over. It is a resource not to be overlooked. Just my two cents, MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
