I have bladder and kidney damage from radiation and chemo treatments for stage 3 cervical cancer. Where can I get free depends and boost?

I have tried all of my sources and not found a place. If anyone out there knows of a way to get free or cheaper incontinence products, please let us know. This is a frequently asked question.

Good luck to you. I'm sorry about the damage to your body, but sincerely hope the cancer has been sent running.
Best wishes,
Carol

So sorry to hear about the complications following chemo...I hope you are on the mend and the cancer is gone forever!
I agree with Carol...no gov. agency provides these products and the companies you see on T.V. charge about the same or more than the stores.
For my mother, I shop at K-mart. They have these specials every month or so on Poise pads. It works out to be about a $5. savings per package. Also, when a store has a sale on these items, talk to the managers and ask if you can buy in bulk at the sales price. This worked for me at Rite Aid.
good luck...Lilli
PS: Have you considered consulting with a reputable naturopath about the after effects of the rad. and chemo? they have worked wonders for my family...just a thought
