Erika Hamilton: Often times when people consider the hardship or “cost” of cancer and chemotherapy, these things are forgotten

Erika Hamilton shared on LinkedIn:

“This is huge. Often times when people consider the hardship or “cost” of cancer and chemotherapy, these things are forgotten.

  • Jobs where “time off” is much harder to get
  • Childcare for treatment when you don’t have the funds and you ARE the childcare
  • Loss of revenue for jobs that aren’t salaried and instead commission or time-based and how to “make ends meet”

Programs like these are so important and start to help with the massive gaps that currently exist.”
