The mission of the Cancer Support Community (CSC) is to ensure that
all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened
by action, and sustained by community. In a recent study conducted by
the CSC, a majority (72.8%) of patients surveyed experienced some degree
of emotional distress from managing cancer care costs. To help meet the
needs of the growing population of people impacted by the financial burden
of cancer care, the CSC recently released the third edition of its highly
acclaimed
Frankly Speaking About Cancer: Coping with the Cost of Care
book. Visit
