Breast cancer treatment can reduce a client’s capacity to work and perform everyday tasks that many of us take for granted. By providing short-term financial relief and practical support services (such as household cleaning, child care or transport to and from appointments), we aim to reduce distress for those experiencing hardship.
If there are financial issues arising as a result of your breast cancer treatment we may be able to offer some short term financial assistance or refer you to an appropriate community support service. Financial toxicity is a side effect of breast cancer, with one quarter of women with breast cancer paying more than $17,200 in out-of-pocket costs in the five years after their diagnosis.
