Battling breast cancer is physically and mentally exhausting.
While we often think of chemotherapy and invasive surgery as the most taxing parts of fighting the diagnosis, breast cancer patients must also challenge cancer on a financial front.
In 2010, medical costs associated with breast cancer in the United States were projected to reach $16.5 billion — the highest cost for all cancer types. Researchers from National Cancer Institute estimated that these costs would reach upwards of $20 billion.
But what about the expenses outside of medical costs? Beyond the cost of treatment, cancer patients must find a way to keep up with their preexisting bills — such as mortgage payments and utilities — even if they’re unable to work.
For breast cancer patients who aren’t sure when they’ll have the money to pay next month’s rent, the Pink Fund can help.
