@katyrae @gingerw , yep, there are as many financial toxicity stories as there are cancer journeys. Here is a snapshot of mine. Don’t get me wrong, I am incredibly blessed to have decent insurance thanks to my husbands lengthy military service. I was in my 30s, strong as an ox, working 16 hours a day building up my business and planning for an easier financial time. Bam, I have aggressive cancer, I was already at financial ruin when my husband got multiple myeloma 6 years later. His savings and retirement gave us the ability to get him two stem cell transplant and continuing care for his myeloma. We are blessed to be alive but I have long since given up any sense of hope for financial security.
