Excerpt:

'Cancer uproots people’s lives, and it’s not just the patient, but those around them – signalling the start of an ugly cycle of pain – physical, mental and unfortunately financial.

Insurance plans are of course a good way of doing this, but they CAN get pretty complicated.

Others don’t like being told the specifics of HOW to spend their money, e.g. no alternative treatments etc.'
