💸 The Financial Impact of Cancer Is Real — and We Have the Data to Prove It.

We asked the Chemo Divas community how a cancer diagnosis has affected their finances. The responses were honest, eye-opening, and deeply moving:
🧠 63% experience emotional distress daily or weekly due to financial pressure
💊 43% have delayed treatment, skipped meds, or missed appointments because of cost
📢 77% rely on word of mouth to find financial resources
📉 60% lack access to financial support
🏥 58% say their employer healthcare coverage is inadequate
📚 75% want more financial education

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they’re lived experiences.

They represent women who are fighting for both their health and their financial stability.

💙 Happy International Nurses Week! 💉✨

We all know that often times, nurses are the REAL MVPs when it comes to our healthcare teams so we had to stop and celebrate these angels on earth

To the nurses who show up with compassion, courage, and unwavering dedication — we see you, we thank you, we celebrate you.

Whether you're holding a patient’s hand through chemo, explaining tough diagnoses with patience, or advocating behind the scenes — your impact is immeasurable.

To every oncology nurse, chemo nurse, and care team member who brings hope and healing to those impacted by cancer: you are heroes in scrubs. 👩🏽‍⚕️🧑🏾‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️

Let’s flood the comments with appreciation and love for the nurses who’ve made a difference in our journeys. 💚

Tag a nurse who deserves to feel celebrated today (and every day).

✨ Featured Story | Krissi Lancaster ✨
@godus1976 | Diagnosed with CLL at 48

For 8 years, Krissi was misdiagnosed and told she had UTIs and Multiple Sclerosis. Her exhaustion, pain, and elevated white blood cell counts were dismissed — until a new doctor took the time to look deeper. In November 2024, she received the correct diagnosis: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

Instead of fear, Krissi responded with faith. 🙏🏽 “I told God thank You and waited for Him to show me what to do next.”

Her battle hasn’t just been medical — it’s been financial, emotional, and spiritual. After losing her job, her home, and her partner, Krissi found herself sleeping in her car, rejected by those closest to her. Yet through it all, her faith has remained unshaken.

“I cry, I pray, and I’m still believing in God for my permanent home and healing. My heart is overwhelmed with joy that ChemoDivas, The American Cancer Society, and Jefferson Oncology actually care in action. God sent me FAMILY.” 💚

💬 Krissi’s strength and vulnerability remind us that healing is more than medicine — it’s community, compassion, and being truly seen.

🫶🏽 Let’s lift her up with love and encouragement in the comments.

🛒 Or just looking for real budgeting tips during treatment…

You don’t have to do it alone. This group is powered by real women with real experiences — and we’re here to lift each other up. 💚

✨ Inside the group, you’ll find:
- Financial resources and tools
- Real-life advice from survivors and caregivers
- A safe space to ask questions without shame
- Community support from fellow #ChemoDivas 💪🏾💕
