all bout BCESF

When people living with breast cancer must choose between paying for medical care or basic necessities for themselves and their families, far too many end up foregoing treatment. The BCESF provides short-term financial and social service support to women living with breast cancer and receiving treatment, distributing funds on a case-by-case basis.

BCESF helps relieve financial obligations such as rent/mortgage payment, utilities, food, transportation, medications, and lymphedema supplies, so women can afford to complete treatment. Assistance with premiums, co-pays and deductibles also helps in retaining health insurance. The BCESF is managed and administered by our friends at the Seton Cancer Care Team.

The BCESF serves Travis, Hays, Caldwell, Bastrop, and Williamson counties. The following Breast Cancer Services participating agencies with patients in these areas are encouraged to refer them to the program: Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas, Cancer Connection, The Care Communities, Seton Cancer Care Team, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Austin Affiliate, Community Action, Wonders & Worries, and WINGS.
