We love when we find much needed items for those on a cancer journey.  When they are FREE, we love them even more.  Cancer patients are faced with a financial burden that can’t be planned for and that is unaffordable for most.

 

According to the AARP, the total cost of cancer treatment on average is $150,000, and that doesn’t include everything that goes along with it.  I know from my own treatments and from others that it can also cost between 5-20k annually with rides to treatment, lodging, non-covered medications and co-payments, food that supplements the “new lifestyle”, wigs and / or clothing for a changing body and so much more.
