Prognosis, scans and finishing chemo

If you've ever asked yourself if personal insurance is really worth it... you need to listen to the episode! This week’s Money Diarist always considered herself a finance girl. She was working, studying finance on the side, investing, and saving for her first home. The kind of person who had an emergency fund and she even had her personal insurances sorted. Then, exactly 1 year after she set up her cover, she was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Within a week she was starting chemo, she couldn't work and the life she’d been carefully building suddenly looked very different. But the financial foundations she’d put in place meant she didn’t have to make decisions from panic while navigating the biggest challenge of her life. Now, as she approaches the end of treatment, she’s reflecting on how the experience reshaped her relationship with money, priorities, and what actually matters when life throws the unexpected your way.
