I am right by your side when you mention the word "cost" of having Breast Cancer. I had $400 a week provided via my REST Super, via a small insurance part of that. Which would have been ok, if we didnt have so many financial commitments, (debt), and if we hadnt spent $10,000 moving to Tasmania just before. We had donations from both sides of the family, one donation which saw us keep our heads above water and meant we didnt have to sell a car, was actually our life saver. If we didnt have that, we would have possibly become bankrupt . My husband just kept it together emotional as our number 1 and only source of income, he pushed himself through the worst year we had every had, complimented by the death of his best friend. He either went to work, or once again, we wouldnt have survived financially. But we hang on to our last dollars in the bank, and just survive, there is no fabulous holiday at the end of my year of Cancer and we are stuck well and truly renting .
We dont own a business, but my husband and I spent it all...... on Breast Cancer!
