Radio Smart Talk for Wednesday, November 16:

A diagnosis of cancer brings with it a whole array of fears, anxieties, and worries.  Most have to do with health and treatment, but eventually the financial impact a cancer diagnosis has on the person being treated, his or her family or caregiver rises to the top of the list of concerns.

Treating cancer can take the patient away from their jobs and disrupt regular income for long periods of time, not everyone has disability insurance and insurances often don't always pay for all treatments.  Some patients make decisions based on their finances that could jeopardize their health.

On Wednesday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll discuss the financial impact of cancer and assistance that is available.

Also, Thursday is Children's Grief Awareness Day -- a day when attention is focused on the pain of children who have lost loved ones.  Two guests from an organization that helps support grieving kids will join us as well.
