Hi

My sister was given one year and she's so young too. There are good days when we learn her treatment is working against all odd but the fear and impending doom never leaves me really if I'm honest. Just know you're not alone. Hugs xx Sandy

My father's battle stemmed about 8 months, despite his shorter prognosis. He too left behind a 9yo, a 14yo, myself who is 20, and two other siblings, 24, 27. Like your mother, my mother also does not work and when my father passed on the 11th of march, 2017, we were in a very bad place financially. I also do not work due to uni, so we all had to heavily rely on external family for funeral and living costs.

A few questions to consider:

Is your mother unable to work?

Have you guys looked into financial support networks for cancer patients? 

Does your father have superannuation stockpiled, and if so, is our mother and beneficiary of them all? 

There is always a way. My family is living proof against all odds. 

I cannot stress that money should be the least of your issues currently. If you all find yourself in a bad position there is help.

Spend time with your dad.
