Financial Coaching: How to Manage Your Money During Treatment
Cancer treatment can wipe patients out financially just as quickly as it does emotionally and physically. In fact, the scary reality is that cancer patients are 2.65 times more likely to go bankrupt than those without cancer. Adding a financial expert to your care team can help you overcome the financial symptoms of cancer before they get in the way of healing.
Developed in partnership with the Foundation for Financial Planning (FFP) and the Financial Planning Association (FPA), our financial coaching service pairs cancer patients and their families with pro-bono financial coaches to help with money management during cancer treatment. It’s a crucial element of our services, which is designed to help families overcome the financial challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
