File this under very cool things I had no idea existed:
The Cancer Legal Resources Center is a collaboration of the Disability Rights Legal Center and the Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. It provides "free and confidential information and resources on cancer-related legal issues to cancer survivors, caregivers, employers, health care professionals, and others coping with cancer."
Cancer patients and their families may have a variety of legal needs, ranging from access to insurance and health care, to employment discrimination, to estate planning and others. The intent of the CLRC is to provide legal support services to relieve the stress and worry that legal problems can cause.
Their services are provided nationwide, free of charge.
The CLRC has a national, toll-free Telephone Assistance Line (866-THE-CLRC) where callers can receive free and confidential information about relevant laws and resources for their particular situation. Members of the CLRC's Professional Panel of volunteer attorneys, insurance agents, and accountants can provide more in-depth information and counsel to CLRC callers.
Did I mention they are absolutely 100% free?
