Other Costs You Need To Think About
While the costs of treatment can be enough to give you pause, those aren’t the only ones you need to add to your budget. It’s important to consider the additional costs of transportation when you need to go to treatment, childcare, take care of your home, and get the food you need. Fortunately, there are also financial assistance programs that may be able to help you with costs that are related to breast cancer treatment but aren’t limited to the treatments themselves. It’s also important to note that there are government and private organizations that provide grants to help with temporary housing for those who need to be closer to their treatment facilities.
It’s stressful enough to be dealing with breast cancer. The last thing you need is the constant worry of how to afford treatment and some of the other costs that can come with undergoing treatment. Fortunately, you have a few options to choose from when it comes to financial assistance so it’s important to look into them as soon as possible.
