The $10,000 question

I'm a third of the way through my chemo regimen and the bills are mounting up. I have applied for charity care through the hospital, but that won't cover everything. I have bills that are from people associated from the hospital, or do work in the hospital but charge for their services separately. The Rutgers insurance covered some of the biopsy of my neck, but nothing else. I have a $7,000 bill from the radiologist, where I got testing done, sitting around. I also have a bill for over $1,500 from the anesthesiologist which was due in full upon me getting it. The total of the bills that I have is over $10,000. I'm not sure how I am going to be able to pay for all of this. One of my friends suggested that I declare bankruptcy in order to get time to pay for all the bills. That seems a little rash right now, since I don't know what would go into that and how much everything will be at the end of the treatment. But for now, I'll deal with the treatment and the side effects of it all and worry about how to pay for it later.
