The first critical step in approaching financial planning for cancer treatment is to determine whether you have private insurance and if so, what parts of the treatment are covered and by how much, and what requires advanced authorization for coverage. The paperwork can be daunting, especially at a time when you are already trying to cope with the shock, disbelief, pain, denial, and sorrow that comes from the initial diagnosis.
However, there are resources available to help you, including the hospital billing office, where administrators specialize in helping families navigate through the complicated world of insurance payments, co-pays, authorizations, and other minutia associated with insurance coverage. If you do not currently have health insurance, there are still a variety of options to ensure financial coverage for childhood cancer treatments, including signing up for health insurance through your employer if offered, purchasing a private health insurance plan, signing up for a health plan offered through state marketplaces developed under the Affordable Care Act , or applying for Medicaid or other low-income health care assistance.
Some of the factors that you may consider while comparing different plans include:. You may also consider speaking directly to the hospital billing staff about coverage options and any discounts available to your family to help mitigate the high cost of cancer treatments. In addition to planning for the cost of treatment, there are a variety of additional, and potentially unanticipated costs that can easily accumulate unexpectedly during this difficult time. For example, you may need to plan accommodations for you and other family members when your child is undergoing his or her treatment, transportation costs, and child care for other children in the family.
While it can be difficult to anticipate these auxiliary costs of fighting cancer treatment, taking the time to plan for the unexpected and relying on the support and advice of families who have been there as well can help mitigate the potentially high costs of helping your child fight—and win—the battle against childhood cancer.
Childhood cancer is an area of oncology that has seen both remarkable progress as well as substantial continuing challenges. While survival rates for some pediatric cancers present a story of success, for many types of pediatric cancers, little progress has been made. Many cancer treatments are known to cause not only significant acute side effects, but also lead to numerous long-term health risks and reduced quality of life.
Even in cases where the cancer is considered curable, the consequences of treatment present substantial long-term health and psychosocial concerns for children, their families, their communities, and our health system. To examine specific opportunities and suggestions for driving optimal care delivery supporting survival with high quality of life, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the Institute of Medicine and the American Cancer Society co-hosted a workshop which convened experts and members of the public on March 9 and 10, At this workshop, clinicians and researchers in pediatric oncology, palliative, and psychosocial care, along with representatives from the U.
In addition, parents of children with cancer and pediatric cancer survivors shared their experiences with care and provided poignant personal perspectives on specific quality of life concerns and support needs for children and families across the life spectrum. This report summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop. To download the full book click here. For a young child, just a routine check-up or basic blood test can be absolutely terrifying. But when a child is suddenly diagnosed with cancer and facing extended hospital stays and complicated medical procedures, both the young patient and his parents have to quickly adjust to the complex, scary, and strange world of oncology and advanced medicines.
The ACCO is dedicated to helping families facing a cancer diagnosis navigate this new and different world as comfortably and completely as possible, so families can focus their time and energy on comforting their child and making the best possible decisions for his or her long-term health and happiness.
Children and families coping with childhood cancer face a number of challenges in the days and weeks immediately after diagnosis. When first entering into the confusing world of a hospital for tests and treatment, the medical centers or hospitals can seem confusing and even frightening; even the hospital rooms may appear scary at times. Healthcare professionals, physicians, and nurses are always well-meaning and dedicated to the long-term care of the patient, but they have many questions to ask and a lot of information to share, and the process can be simply overwhelming.
Sometimes, it can even feel like the doctors and nurses are speaking a completely different and unknown language. But perhaps most frustrating is the need to handle financial concerns when all you want to do is comfort your child. Medical insurance professionals are available to help navigate through the paperwork and help you understand your coverage. In some cases, insurance companies may require advanced approval on various procedures and tests or may have queries related to payment.

Most of the time children with cancer undergo treatment at large and advanced pediatric cancer centers located in major cities around the country. Treating adolescents with cancer presents a series of unique challenges for both medical staff and parents.
See a Problem?
Adolescents want to be treated as adults and may resist treatment and hospitalization in a pediatric unit. Yet in most cases, pediatric oncology units are still the best medical option for adolescents because their cancers are more closely associated with childhood cancers than adult cancers.
Many pediatric hospitals now offer separate areas designated for adolescents in order to accommodate their special emotional and physical needs. The American Childhood Cancer Organization is dedicated to helping parents understand, navigate, and master the complicated world of pediatric oncology in order to give their child the best possible chance at fighting, and beating, childhood cancer. If your child is facing a cancer diagnosis, we encourage you to visit our website at www. In the briefest space of time, in the time it takes to say just four little words, the normal, hectic, everyday life of a family can so easily be turned upside down.
The normal daily routine of the family changes overnight as families cope with the diagnosis, educate themselves on the best treatment options, comfort and care for their sick, scared child while still working, providing for their family, and trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy for siblings. Handling all of the dramatic changes that a cancer diagnosis requires needs support.
Most of this support comes from family members and friends who can supply meals, care for other siblings, transportation, and emotional support. At the ACCO, we are dedicated to offering support as well. We understand just how traumatic a diagnosis of childhood cancer is, and our resources are geared towards helping families navigate this difficult time armed with the information they need to make the right choices for their child and with tools to give their children comfort and succor as they face treatment.
In Cancer for Christmas: Making the Most of a Daunting Gift, Casey shares the questions she asked her doctors, what she did with the answers, and how she navigated surgery, chemo, and radiation treatment with determination, ferocity, and a large dose of humor.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. So of course I think it's readable. Mar 01, Ted Kopp rated it it was amazing. I recently finished reading this book, which I had purchased a while back. I personally know the author — like her, I live in Richmond, Virginia, and she was kind enough to autograph my copy.
Also, I have a family history of cancer — among others, my mother and her mother both died of it. Last but not least, I got hit with Stage 2 colon cancer last summer, and the fact that I am a six-month survivor now, in remission, finally jogged my memory about this book! Now for the book itself — I liked mos I recently finished reading this book, which I had purchased a while back.
