Someone in your financial corner

A 2009 study by the Association of Oncology Social Work surveyed 169 cancer patients, 131 caregivers and 153 oncology social workers to help make sense of just how financial stress affects a patient's compliance to their treatment plan. Source.

The results were shocking. According to the survey:

• 66% of patients with major financial challenges suffer depression or anxiety
• 29% of patients delay filling their prescription because of financial concerns
• 22% skip their medication doses because they worry about the costs of getting more
