334 breast cancer survivors told us what happens after treatment ends, and the numbers are confronting.
99.7% are still dealing with an ongoing physical or physiological effect.
51% have spent $10,000 or more since finishing treatment, mostly covered by savings, credit cards and money borrowed from family.
Recovery doesn’t come with a bill you can plan for. It shows up as fatigue, sleep problems, joint pain and fear of recurrence, long after the all clear.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re sharing what survivors told us so the hidden costs of cancer get talked about as much as the diagnosis does.
