Patients and caregivers frequently travel to cities with specialized cancer hospitals to access the care they need. Even after initial treatment, follow-up visits are often required. Since cancer treatments don’t always involve hospitalization, patients and their families often face the challenge of finding affordable accommodation for their stay. To help ease this burden, we have curated a list of free or affordable housing options available nationwide.
Well-known non-governmental financial assistance schemes for lung cancer patients play a crucial role in providing support beyond what is covered by government programs. These initiatives are typically offered by charitable organizations, foundations, and private sector entities, aiming to ease the financial burden of cancer treatment. Here are some key sources of non-governmental financial assistance:
