The Financial Burden of Lung Cancer Treatment

Treatment often includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. Many patients require multiple rounds of treatment over months or years, with significant side effects that prevent them from working.

Lung cancer treatment costs average $150,000 to $250,000 or more. The combination of lost income and high treatment costs creates severe financial strain — studies show over 70% of lung cancer patients report significant financial hardship.

How a Living Benefit Loan Helps Lung Cancer Patients

If you have a life insurance policy with a death benefit of $75,000 or more, you may be able to borrow against it — without selling it, without monthly payments, and without a credit check.

Keep Your Policy

Unlike a viatical settlement, you don't sell your policy. Your beneficiaries still receive the remaining death benefit.

Fast Funding

Receive up to 50% of your death benefit in as few as 3 days. When you're fighting cancer, you can't wait months.

No Monthly Payments

The loan is repaid from the death benefit. You never make a payment. No income requirements, no credit check.

Use Funds for Anything

Medical bills, mortgage payments, experimental treatments, travel, childcare — there are no restrictions on how you use the money.
