When someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, the challenges often go far beyond the medical or physical.
Register here for this free online Q&A event hosted by Breast Cancer Trials, Australia and New Zealand’s largest independent breast cancer clinical trials research group. A panel of experts in breast cancer research and treatment, economics, support services and people with a lived experience of the disease will explore the direct, indirect and hidden costs of breast cancer.
The discussion will cover the impact of breast cancer on career, reduced retirement savings, changes to family financial security, and strain on mental health; the impact on the individual as well as households, workplaces and the broader economy; and what can be done about it: support services, policy changes, workplace strategies, financial counselling and how clinical trials are adapting to the needs of patients and their families.
