Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be a life-altering upheaval with complex challenges to navigate in all areas of life. Whether you are newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or living with the long-term effects – the physical, emotional and practical demands of living with cancer can often be overwhelming.

For those living with cancer, here are some key areas Tiger’s Eye Advocacy can support you with:

Navigating the healthcare system

Are you struggling to feel heard when you go to medical appointments? Do you feel lost in a mountain of medical information that makes little sense? Tiger’s Eye Advocacy can help you understand your treatment options, support you in making decisions that are right for you and your family, and help you communicate effectively with your healthcare team. To have someone in your corner advocating for your best interests can provide relief and support during a really difficult time.

Accessing financial support

Cancer can put a strain on your finances, whether through loss of income due to treatment or increased medical costs. Advocates can assist with identifying benefits, grants, and other forms of financial aid to ease the burden.

Form completion support

Tiger’s Eye Advocacy offer form completion services to assist with documentation and filling out forms accurately and efficiently, reducing stress and ensuring that essential paperwork is completed correctly.

Emotional and practical support

If your mental health is suffering, Tiger’s Eye Advocacy can offer emotional support, provide a listening ear and a caring and compassionate presence to help you cope with difficult emotions and navigate through uncertainty. They can also connect you with local support groups and counselling services if required.
