Imagine hearing the words, “You have cancer.”
Your doctor starts to explain, but his voice fades into the background as your mind races frantically. There must be some mistake.
But there’s no mistake. You start the treatment and the weeks become a blur. Your family all put on a brave face, but you know they are struggling to cope.
But then the doctor tells you there’s new treatment that could be your best chance. Hope starts to build… and then you realise you can’t afford it.
Not all cancer treatments or tests are covered by Medicare or private health insurance. They are often so new that no funding options are available yet.
Which means the cost can make them out of reach for many people.
If you were sick, the last thing you would want to worry about is how to afford your treatment.
You can help cancer patients with a very special gift.
