The American Cancer Society has information that can guide you towards assistance.
Medical Insurance and Financial Assistance for the Cancer Patient

You may qualify for your state Medicaide/Medicare program.
Since you are disabled you will probably qualify for other programs as very well (social security disability and insurance).
Not sure why you be denied financial aid at the hospital or exactly what is taking place here. But, abundant hospitals offer free or low cost medical comfort through the Hill Burton federal program. You can locate the hospital closest to you that will offer this program . . or phone up your hospital and ask about it.

You should enjoy applied for state medical insurance the minute you were diagnosed if you have no private insurance. I applied for Medicaid when I had a broken hip and no insurance, but I be denied and went to our county hospital. But, when I be diagnosed with duplicate cancer you have, I go and applied for Medicaid and was approved from the time the diagnosis was made. I am suprised that the social workers at the hospital you go to didn't apply for this for you. Most hospitals do this type of thing for patients first item if you have no mode to pay.
