Overcoming Financial Toxicity: How to Ease the Burden of Breast Cancer Treatment Expenses

Dr. Monique Gary discusses financial toxicity, AKA the burden of cancer care expenses, and how it can be a significant obstacle for women undergoing breast cancer treatment. The high cost of therapies and medications may lead to treatment interruptions or discontinuations, impacting the overall outcome of their care. To help alleviate this burden, resources such as financial navigators and grants are available to support individuals battling breast cancer. These resources can provide guidance on managing treatment costs, help with navigating insurance coverage, and offer financial assistance options. By utilizing these resources, women can receive the necessary support to complete their treatments without the added worry of financial strain.
