Meet UVSC Hero, Rochelle, who is 24 years-old. She was married last year and shortly afterwards was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. Like many young women fighting cancer who hope to become mothers one day, she faced the possibility of future fertility issues due to chemotherapy and radiation. Fertility preservation services are not covered by most insurance plans and can cost patients $10,000-$20,000 to safeguard their futures.
UVSC’s assistance helped to cover essential needs for Rochelle’s household, like food, during her cancer treatment, and her out-of-pocket expenses for egg freezing.
“The UVSC Financial Assistance is a huge help for cancer patients like me. It gave me hope.” – Rochelle
