Medicines used by cancer patients are costly. Is there facility to get them at subsidised rates?

When my insurance ended before it was picked up through COBRA, my surgeon offered to let me stay at the hospital for all the treatments. He said the last thing I should be worrying about is payment. My health came first. If I stayed there and had chemo and radiation treatments, I wouldn't have been turned away, whether I had insurance or not. But my insurance kicked back in and I paid 25 a month for my chemo, saving me several thousands of dollars a month.
