Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in United States with a significant patient and familial financial burden. Limited resources offer financial support to patients in the form of cost support for bills, health insurance payments, childcare, and post-treatment recovery. Financial resources are often limited to patients of certain geographic regions or low socioeconomic status as determined by the federal poverty level, which may systematically exclude patients in need.
