Financial Resources for Young Adults with Cancer

1/6/2017

For anyone searching for resources to help with the challenges of cancer treatment, one of my new favorites is Cure Magazine.  Cure publishes a variety of articles – anything from scientific breakthroughs in cancer treatment to patient stories.  My dad works in oncology, so subscribes to the magazine.  However, you can also access all of their articles on their website: curetoday.com.  

In their most recent issue, they included a special issue along with their magazine, called Medication Adherence and Financial Support.  While every article in the special issue seems incredibly valuable to me, I wanted to highlight one: The Samfund Launches New Toolkit to Guide Young Adults Through Cancer-Related Financial Decisions (you can also find it on curetoday.com).  The article covers a new toolkit developed by another awesome foundation (and great place to find resources), The Samfund.  According to Cure's article, the toolkit is designed to be a decision-making guide to help young adults make the tough decisions involved in the financial management of cancer treatment. You can access the toolkit and other financial resources provided by The Samfund HERE.  I did a test-drive of the toolkit and it is fantastic! It asks important questions to help determine what financial issues you need the most help with and it's so easy to use.  

After looking around for similar resources, I have not found any other tools quite like it. However, I did find a great list of financial assistance organizations on the Stupid Cancer website.  You can also check out Hope for Young Adults with Cancer, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or Critical Mass for additional resources!
