I feel terrible! I’m watching the live of my life struggling everyday. He was an active physician until 2 weeks ago and now my whole world has crashed in a second. The problem is that I have no income and my husband was the only income of our household. My kids had the best life and now I have to
Tell them to watch their spending and they really don’t get it. I’m so lost and devastated. What do I do with bills that I haven’t received yet? My saving is going to be gone within couple of months. I wish there was a cure for this I would have tolerated this time but there is no cure my life and my husbands life is basically over. I wish I could do something for him. Sorry for venting out but there is a lot going on my mind right now

@manty54, I recommend that you ask to meet with a social worker. Oncology social work is an often overlooked service offered at cancer centers. You may find this blog post, written by the Mayo Clinc oncology social work team, helpful to learn more

Their services include finding financial assistance and solutions, as well as helping the entire family, not only the patient.

So sorry to hear about your situation. Don't worry about venting as we all need to do that. All of us who had our lives changed dramatically in a very short time understand. I agree that watching our loved one struggle is the most difficult part. My wife and I get through this by living day by day, and a strong reliance on God to assist us. Things like the money situation seem daunting, but these issues can be solved in time. Our prayers are with all those struggling with this disease.
