Due to the pain and side
effects, some people say
that treatment is almost as
bad as the cancer itself,
especially chemotherapy.

mountain, you’ll find that
chemotherapy is one of the most
effective ways to treat many
different types of cancers.

Cancer treatments tend to
be advanced, and
sometimes invasive. On
top of this, the bills will
continue to add up over
the course of a few
months.

Don’t panic – affording the proper
treatment isn’t a hopeless
endeavor. There are several
forms of financial help for cancer
patients, including opportunities
to sell life insurance policies for a
lump sum of money.

“Remission” is a word that every
cancer patient hopes to hear,
however, this doesn’t mean
they’re necessarily cured.

With each passing year that a
person stays in remission, there
is because the chance of relapse
decreases. It’s important to
attend regular checkups in order
to monitor progress.

As you progress through this
journey, it’s best to familiarize
yourself with what lies ahead so
you can prepare yourself mentally,
physically, and financially.
