Are there any options for people who get cancer and don't have health insurance?

I got diagnosed with testicular cancer. I lost my health insurance last month. The doctor told me I need surgery among other things. Are there any options for people like me? Free clinics where i can get treatment maybe? I live in New York. Maybe their are state programs? Any help would be appreciated.

You should contact your previous insurance coordinator through your last job and ask them about you paying through COBRA. That's what my husband did when he changed jobs and then I was dx with cancer. Other than that, if you have no job or an extra low paying job, apply through social security for medicaid.
