In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Laurie Tauriainen a breast cancer nurse navigator has written about a wonderful community resource available to our North Texas patients!
"Women Rock
As you can imagine the diagnosis of “breast cancer” is terrifying for most. Along with the shock of a new diagnosis is the person’s fear of “how am I going to pay for this??” As a breast cancer navigator, every day I am searching for funds for patients to help them cover the insurmountable cost of cancer treatment. Many patients require assistance with rent, utilities, car payments, copays, all of the expenses that come along with this devastating diagnosis. This is where Women Rock has truly been a lifeline for many of my patients. Women Rock in a nonprofit organization that provides assistance with screening and diagnostic mammograms, mobile breast health education, conservative financial assistance to help clients manage breast cancer treatment and survivor and caregiver support. All monies raised goes to patients in the North Texas area. Women Rock has truly helped many of my patients emotionally and financially and is truly making a difference in defeating breast cancer."
