@scalettasandy : Hi. I live alone, I have no family nearby, and my closest friends are 200+ mi. away, so I empathize.

Until recently, I had a longtime therapist, and she was a great support. (She retired, which had been in the works for two years; not a surprise, therefore, but bad timing for me.)

My hospital's cancer center has a social worker who has been a great support in various ways; she's an LCSW, so she could provide a few sessions of therapy, and she has put me in touch with the Behavioral Health unit at the hospital, with the goal of my having short-term psychotherapy support (3 mos. is their limit) if I want it. I'm not sure whether I do, but I'm glad it's a possibility.

This is a lousy time to be without support, and I feel for you. Might your hospital be able to help in these, or other, ways?

ETA: If any of your relatives live near a bigger / better hospital, might you be able to move in with them for a few months?
