Cancer Care - The Protection You Didn't Know You Needed

November 05, 2018

When you have a cold, you can tell you're unwell when you look in the mirror. Your nose is generally red, and your eyes will start to water - classic signs that you're suffering from a common cold. A mirror can tell us if we've got a cut or a bruise, or even a pimple, but it cannot tell us if we have a fever - or any other kind of disease. This is a lesson that Lisa Ray was forced to learn the hard way.

As a model and actress, she spent several hours in front of a vanity mirror. She'd watch as makeup artists would work their magic on her and transform her from Lisa into her character for that day. Every time she looked in the mirror, all she saw was her flawless face and her fit body. Sadly, the mirror could never show her what was going on inside her body.

As she entered her 30s, Lisa Ray received some devastating news. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of cancer that was treatable, but could not be cured. The actress couldn't believe it. There were no real signs or symptoms that let her know something was wrong. But, she never lost hope. She was certain she could beat the cancer, and after a stem-cell transplant on Christmas Day in 2009, Lisa Ray announced to the world that she was cancer-free! But, is it really so easy for everybody to beat this nasty disease?

Cancer can attack your body in many different ways, and it isn't always easy to detect. This means that by the time the cancer starts to affect our bodies and forces us to visit the doctor, it may already be too late. With cancer, early detection is key in fighting back. The earlier the cancer is detected, the better your chances of survival. But, cancer treatment does not come cheap. From visiting experts to paying for the medicine, getting help when you're diagnosed with cancer can rake up quite a high bill. Thankfully, you have us to help you with that.

When it comes to fighting cancer, you need to have two things - the will to fight and a good financial plan. The will to fight is up to you. You can leave the finances to us. We offer a carefully curated Cancer Care Plan that will offer you a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with cancer. This amount will help you pay for the treatment you need to get better, without forcing you to dip into your income or the savings that you have so carefully accumulated for yourself and your family members over the years.

In today's world, when cancer cases are constantly on the rise, it's important that you protect yourself from the kind of financial trauma associated with cancer treatment. If you're financially prepared to deal with cancer, you can be sure that you've already won half the battle. If you're ready to start protecting yourself and your family today,
