A Message from the Owner

Hello Everyone,

It’s incredibly important to me that my agents and I support families facing the difficult journey of a CML or AML diagnosis. Having experienced this first-hand, I understand the challenges that arise from diagnosis through treatment and back again.

We recognize that our clients rely on us to provide clear, concise options to help manage the high costs of care. This section of our website is dedicated to my late mother and serves as a resource for those navigating this tough battle.

As the saying goes, “Each one teaches one.” We will continuously update this page to ensure that our clients afflicted with these conditions have access to the support they need.

We’ve included a selection of resources, clinical trials, and books that can help you manage both the emotional and financial aspects of cancer care.

Thank you for visiting, and please feel free to reach out if you need assistance or more information.

Warm regards,

GH
Orion Financial Services LLC

Books to help you navigate and cope. 

Cancer and your finances.
