    Hello @JBam and welcome to the forum. The Teal sisters here tend to be a wealth of knowledge and tremendous support to each other. May I seek clarity regarding your question? What specifically are you seeking financial assistance for? Is it relative to hospital support? Treatment? Post treatment? At home care? Medicine? The answer may help others to provide the information you are hoping to find. 
    As well, you could also type in "financial assistance" in the search bar at the top of this page. Perhaps there is some information that may pop up.

    Are you in Regina or Saskatoon?  In Regina there is an OV Cancer Support Group, and they may be able to help answer some of your questions.  We have a supper meeting this coming Tuesday if you are interested.

    Hi. I would suggest taking a look at the Canadian Cancer Society site. There is a help line to connect with someone there who can help you find financial assistance and I believe they can even help find local resources for you.

    @JBam …following along the line of @GloHo have you spoken to your medical team? I found my oncologist and her team to be a great source of knowledge. They were the ones who connected me to AstraZeneca who provides financial support for Lynparza (Olaparib) and helped me understand financial support provided by the Government of Ontario (Trillium). 

    Perhaps as well send an email to the team at Ovarian Cancer Canada. Perhaps they have information that may help.
