@huffcomm, dealing with cancer and its treatments without a support system is hard. I can imagine you are weighing you treatment options carefully and trying to learn their impact on your quality of life and you abilities and your preferences.

You may wish to inquire about an appointment with an oncology social worker. You can talk to them about your supports or lack of support and discuss community resources available to you throughout treatment and beyond. You can also talk about palliative care and home hospice services according to your preferences. Here's a bit more about the role a cancer social worker can play in coordinating care and supporting YOU.

@huffcomm, what treatment is being recommended for you? How are you doing?
