Hi,

This is really tough. I'm very sorry to hear this. Sometimes life deals us some pretty tough blows.

I would give CancerCouncil a call and see if they are able to help. They may well be able to put you in touch with an organisation that can help you.

Try calling centrelink and explain your circumstances.

Oh - and see if you can get a 2nd opinion.

Hopefully there is additional help that a government agency or a charity can help provide to you in these circumstances.

Good luck and keep us posted on how you go.
