    Chris, contact the American Cancer Society and the social worker at the hospital where you had your treatment. There are several agencies that can get you some help but you have to apply. It takes some work and time on the phone, but apply for absolutely everything you can.

    My heart goes out to you - things are tough for me too and its a struggle but you can get through it. This is the right place for support and help.

    future
    It's a funny thing about the future. You can't see it because it's always around a corner. Help could be around that corner. Calling the ACS is a good idea. If you had been working and now can't because of a disability you could also call the social security office and see if you qualify for disability payments. I hope you find what you are looking for.
