Press release: "People with cancer more worried about cost of living than diagnosis"

Maggie's survey press release:

  • 29% of people with a cancer diagnosis are more worried about the cost of living crisis than their cancer.
  • Over three quarters (77%) feel that the crisis is affecting their chances of successful treatment for cancer.
  • Over half (55%) of those surveyed also said they think they will struggle to pay for food this winter and two thirds (67%) think heating bills will be a problem.

The OnePoll survey polled 500 people currently living with cancer.
