ENUMCLAW, Wash. - A group of four Washington moms, three of whom are cancer survivors, have created a non-profit with the mission of helping current cancer patients with emotional support and costs associated with cancer treatments. Cancer Cartel is all about cleaning up the cost of cancer. As three cancer survivors, we knew that cancer is very expensive, said Kerry Solmonsen, one of the founders. And it s just not medical bills. It s so much more than that and it increases your cost of living dramatically. And we thought there had to be a better way.
