Financial stress
Hi all....just needed to vent more than anything. I have secured a full time job 3 months ago after basically 12 months off due to BC(worked casually through chemo and radiation). My marriage broke up during this time and I am starting again with nothing after my ex husband stuffed up royally and basically lost everything (house, shares and savings). I have my boys which is the main thing. They help out but i just can't get back on track financially. Today I get home to a $275.05 pathology account. I know Medicare will cover some but not all. I lost my health care card when i got my full time job. I am busting my backside and getting nowhere. I am looking at a 2nd job....i just don't know what i can do. My mental health is fragile with the fear of cancer coming back (lymph nodes involved).....sorry to complain as i know many are worse off.....i just can't see my life returning to some sort of normal.257Views0likes11CommentsJust need some advice.
Hi all....hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and new year. I went for a job interview on Friday. It's fulltime. I am currently working about 30 hours a week and bumping my income up doing Uber!! My current employer has been awesome...hiring me mid chemo treatment, adjusting my roater when i had radiation etc. I bust my backside for them and will never forget their kindness. I just need fulltime work financially and they can't give me that (hospitality). This new job is customer service call centre. My problem is i keep worrying about what if the cancer comes back and i can't work full time.....i hate that cancer is still controlling me! My psychologist has left the place she was working and i am going to see another in the new year but until then i am, to be honest, struggling with these thoughts of it coming back. Every ache i get i panic. My oncologist told me originally that there is a 50% chance it can come back within first 2 years....how do i focus on the 50% chance that it won't? Thanks203Views0likes7CommentsRe: How do i deal with this
Thanks so much everyone. You are all just beautiful souls. @iserbrown yes i know but i really need to be in a better financial state so myself and the boys can really enjoy the break. Two of them have recently started new jobs and wouldn't be able to get leave. Will definitely investigate though!!17Views2likes0Comments- 1View0likes0Comments
