Stage 4 NET

Meaney
Offline

Should I consider giving up work. My cancer is a NET stage 4 spread to liver. The mornings are hard. I am tired and feel sick. I work four days a week as an assistant head and have had my diagnosis December 2022. I worry about finances and being able to afford the mortgage and bills but I am also worried about how much longer I have to live and how much longer I can work

    I'm really sorry you find yourself in this situation and you don't need to be worrying about money. I'd recommend you speak to Macmillan as they can help with any benefits you may be entitled to. If you work in education you should have a good sick pay entitlement? Also I'm not sure of your age but if youre 55 or older, you could access your pension. I think in some circumstances like I'll health, you may be able to get it earlier. Without knowing more about your situation, it's difficult to know but do speak to Macmillan as a starting point.

    Best wishes
