Join Our Next #CureConnect Tweet Chat on the Costs of Cancer

Save the date! We invite you to join CURE for our next monthly #CureConnect Tweet Chat on Thursday, April 30, at 1 p.m. EST, when we plan on discussing the costs of cancer — both financial and otherwise.

Each month, we host a #CUREConnect Tweet Chat to bring together patients with cancer, survivors, advocates, caregivers & treatment providers to promote collaboration within the community. The chats take place on Twitter on the last Thursday of every month, at 1 p.m. EST.

During the chat, we'll be asking the following questions:

• Drug Prices: When discussing the cost of cancer, drug prices top the list as one of the hottest topics. How do you see the cost of treatment affecting health care plans?
• Financial Toxicity: Because of high drug prices, many patients face cancer’s “twin ailment”: financial toxicity. What are your thoughts on this term? Have you experienced this yourself?
• Career Costs: In addition to a financial cost, cancer can even cost a patient their job - or can make finding a job stressful. What advice would you have — or would you like – on careers and cancer?
• Mental Health: Sometimes cancer costs more than money — it can cost peace of mind. Many experience anxiety, depression, and other issues as a result of living with the disease. How has cancer affected your mental health?
• Fertility: As a result of cancer or its treatment, the disease may cost some patients their fertility. Have you or someone you know experienced this? How can patients manage their potential reproductive concerns?
