Cancer and Your Finances

This booklet has been prepared to help you manage your finances after a cancer diagnosis.

Cancer and its treatment affects many aspects of a person's life. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may need to find ways to deal with reduced income and extra costs, and you may have to change your financial plans and goals.

You may be having difficulties with your budget for the first time in your life, so you might not know what to do if you can't pay your bills or meet your repayments, or where to go for help. We hope this booklet helps you find a solution that suits your situation.

Some financial terms that might be unfamiliar are explained in the glossary. You may also like to pass this booklet to your family and friends for their information.
