money, money, money

My hubby will start chemo in a couple of weeks and is down for 4 cycles.  He is an engineer so has a physical job and 60 years old so getting another job will be difficult.   He will only get Statutory Sick Pay, We are also hoping to have the op to remove his oesephaus and stomach.  My wages will not cover the mortgage and bills.  Because we are not on benefits it looks as if we cannot get anything.  It is so unfair. I am so worried about how will we will cope, just what we don't need after a diagnosis of cancer when our world has fallen apart. 

Has anyone been through this.

  • Hi Billy,  did know about the disabled thing but ta anyways.  I have looked at Mac and Gov and it looks as if you can only get help if you are on benefits.  Hubby wants to keep working (thinking he may be having his head in the sand about that).  So if he does we are up **** street financially.  Hey ho thats life.
