Financial coach program

A very common concern with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients . 
Below is a new Financial Coach Program available at Healthtree. 
I have seen various team members struggle with financial issues upon diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma especially if they do not have Medicare or effective healthcare resources. You may want to check out Healthtree as they have a new Multiple Myeloma Financial Coach program. You can use your search engine to locate the Healthtree website. I hope this helps you and others on our team.

Stay up to speed on when the next rounds of these various grant programs begin. And apply as quickly as you can. I'm thankful. There's a lot of help out there.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society provides financial help. Also, they can give you contact information for other groups that assist. Also there is probably a financial aid office at your cancer center. The maker of the meds you take may offer discounts if they know you are in financial straits.
