A terminally-ill New York City cancer patient says she was rejected by a Virginia hospital for chemotherapy treatment because she’s from a region hard-hit by the coronavirus.

Reilly Starr, who is battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, said VCU Massey Cancer Center in Richmond called her Tuesday saying that it couldn’t accept her as a patient since she was from a “high-risk” state.

“I was shocked,” Starr, 41, told The Post. “I could not believe that this woman was confidently telling me that they could not treat me.”

The Upper West Side mom said the message of the call was clear: “It was not ‘Sorry.’ It was ‘We don’t want you here.’ ”

Starr said she had already secured an Airbnb to move this weekend with her husband and 2-year-old son to Richmond so she could be near family as she continues her treatment.

Now she feels left with the choice of either finding a new hospital further away from her Airbnb — or staying in New York where she might put herself at risk for the virus by traveling to her local hospital.

Confronted with the difficult decision, Starr took to social media with a plea for help about her situation.

“It’s just preposterous that simply because I am from New York that they won’t accept me,” she told The Post.

Reached for comment, the cancer center said Tuesday night that it was aware of the social media post and “wants to make clear that there is no turn away policy… period.”

“That would be contrary to our mission and does not reflect the quality and compassionate care for which Massey Cancer Center is known,” spokesperson Jennifer Owen said in a statement. “We are deeply concerned by this account, looking into what happened and are reaching out to the patient.”

Starr said she received several phone calls Wednesday from the hospital offering her the alternative option of self-quarantining for two weeks before seeking treatment there.

“I don’t think it is acceptable,” Starr said. “I’m a terminal patient. I need care and treatment perpetually.”

Starr continued saying, “I should not be from prevented from care simply because of this virus given my circumstances.”
