 Imagine: Linda, a 40 year-old hotel
manager and single parent, discovered she had cancer. "It's malignant," her doctor said. "But
with today's surgical advancements, I think I can remove just the
growth in your breast, and nothing else." The surgery was a
success, but now Linda wants to take time off from work, because
her life has become focused around her weekly chemotherapy and
radiation treatments, as well as looking after her children. Her
recovery will take six months, with another three months during
which she could only work part-time. It's typical of critical
illness patients to recover their health and get their life back to
normal in stages. Fortunately for Linda, her aunt provided an
inheritance months earlier, and Linda and her children can live on
that while Linda takes the time to recover without financial
worries. When you have cash benefits to fall back on in the event of a
critical illness, you don't have to worry about finances, and you
can take the time you need for a complete recovery. Where would you turn if this happened
to you? |
