Interesting article on fighting cancer and its financial demands

Posted by Scott, Volunteer Mentor @IndianaScott, May 22, 2018

I came across an interesting article today from the Associated Press. The article talks about fighting cancer and also fighting the financial troubles it can cause. At least in the case of my wife and I this article struck a significant chord. I am still paying off several old medical bills!

It is good to read about resources out there to offer help and support!

Strength, courage, and peace!

What a great resource you provided. A quote from the article that I found especially difficult, “A lot of times people don’t realize there are resources available until they’ve already gone broke,” said Dr. Veena Shankaran of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

This is so unfortunate!

I appreciate your sharing this article with us, Scott. I hope that it will provide help for those who are just beginning the journey of costly cancer treatment.

@IndianaScott Thanks for article, Scott. Helpful. I think many of us can talk about sex and death before we can talk about money. Its part of life too. Ventibug
