The Manual: A Legal Resource Guide for People with Cancer in California
The CLRC has designed a legal guide for people coping with cancer with information about employment, taking time off work, disability insurance, health insurance, how to ensure your treatment gets paid for, estate planning, and legislative advocacy. While this manual is specific to California, it contains practical information that applies to everyone and gives you an idea of what to look for in your own state. Funding for this guide was provided, in part, by the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
