Combining the care of two children with full time work has kept Anne’s life very busy. So finding alump in her left breast at age 36 came as a real shock. A biopsy indicated it was malignant, and less than a week later she had a mastectomy.

To ensure the cancer didn’t spread, Anne continued with radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Anne’s husband, Rob, took time off work to accompany Anne to the hospital for treatment. And while Anne’s mother was initially able to look after the children, it became apparent they would need to employ a nanny for ongoing care.

All of these changes put Anne and Rob underimmense stress. Fortunately, even though their family income dropped, they didn’t have to worry financially. On the birth of their first child, Rob and Anne had taken out an Insurance Kings Trauma policy. Their lump sum payment helped them to pay for travel and accommodation costs, a nanny during Anne’s treatment as well as paying other bills such as school fees and car payments.

They were also able to significantly reduce their mortgage. This was a huge relief for Anne, because it meant she could resign from her job, spend time with her family and remove some stress from her life.
