Every day, countless breast cancer patients must choose between paying rent or affording life-saving treatment. This is where financial toxicity threatens the lives of breast cancer patients everywhere. In an exclusive new report, Susan G. Komen’s Patient Care Center identified housing, transportation and utilities as the top financial needs for patients as they carry the weight of medical costs. What may seem like the simplest living expense can pose a life-threatening ultimatum for patients who often delay or forgo care. Through Komen’s Financial Assistance Program and the generosity of our donors, families across the U.S. receive vital financial assistance—but it’s not enough. Long-term solutions are desperately needed for tens of thousands of people facing breast cancer. Read Komen’s full report: https://bit.ly/3ZGF3xm
