Episode 346: Bills and Barriers: Navigating the Cost of Breast Cancer
Description
A breast cancer diagnosis can bring more than just emotional and physical challenges — it can also create a heavy financial burden. From the cost of treatment to lesser-known expenses like transportation, childcare and lost wages, the impact can be overwhelming. In this episode of Real Pink: Health Equity Revolution, we’re joined by Toni Lee, Senior Manager of Susan G. Komen’s Patient Care Center. Toni shares powerful insights about the real costs of breast cancer, how Komen supports patients financially — even when the Financial Assistance Program is closed — and how trained patient navigators can help individuals access the resources they need to reduce the burden. If you or someone you love is navigating breast cancer, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered.
