Does anyone have some kind of estimate of the costs. Also are there any kind of financial assistance programs or payment plans? Do they need money before they can see her? Each penny is going to count so please be specific with any input.
Thank you all for your time in advance.

MD Anderson has a multidisciplinary team, which includes a Social Worker. My oncologist is an MD Anderson dr in the North East. When I first met with them, the social worker came in to speak with me and informed me that they could help find information and programs with insurance costs if needed. I am sure that if you call the nurse navigator, they can direct you to the appropriate person.
