Hi Angela1960, 

Cancer can have a real impact on your financial stability and I am so sorry to hear you had to give up your job due to your health issues. It's good that you are claiming PIP and I suggest you have a look at Macmillan's page on Benefits and Financial Support - they have a wealth of information to help you get all the financial support you might be entitled to in your circumstances. I hope that you can investigate this closely and that you will also hear from other members of our community who have had similar financial concerns and that they will share with you some great tips based on what worked for them and how they managed to cope with the financial and emotional impact after cancer and surgery. 

We're thinking of you during this difficult time and I hope that you will feel less worried soon about money or any other preoccupations you might have. Rest assured through that you are not alone and we are all there for you. 

Best wishes,
