The Facts
You’ve no doubt seen or heard the statistics. Cancer will affect 1
out of every 3 women living in
America. 1
out of every 2 American men will be diagnosed with cancer in their
lifetime*. These statistics are astounding, but the cancer statistics that
really hit home are the number of people you know who have been touched by
cancer. The sad reality is that just about every one of us knows someone
whose life has been affected by cancer. We can take steps to minimize the
risk of cancer (eat healthy, exercise, or quit smoking) but there are no
guarantees that cancer will spare us or our families.
When It Really Hits Home
Think of all of the people you know who have been touched by cancer
– a neighbor, a friend, perhaps even a loved one. If you ask anyone who
has survived cancer, they will probably tell you that there are two
battles that must be fought. The fight to beat cancer and stay in
remission and the fight to stay ahead of the costs of cancer. Just as the
battle to beat cancer has become more winnable due to advancements in
medical science, the battle to pay the costs of cancer can also be fought
and won if you have the right coverage.
