It takes 5 months from diagnosis to get your first check from SSI. I applied and I have insurance through the ACA/Obamacare. The ACA has qualifying events that might allow you to enter a plan(Most of those plans cover all this stuff). Otherwise A trip to your Medicaid office might be a good idea. I believe medicaid has to pay for the chemo if the hospital he gets it at accepts it, same goes for the SCT. It depends on the plan you get with medicaid its complicated now with the ACA how all that works but its a good idea to find out. Open enrollment for Obamacare 2015 starts in November so you might want to start with Medicaid right away. I'm pretty sure its retroactive so they'll look back to when your husband was diagnosed and pay some of that. Also, many hospitals use a sliding scale for fees.
Best to you and your Husband.
