In addition to what others said already, you need someone to look after your kids while you go through treatments. Please contact Mummy's Wish, which is a charity for mums with cancer who has kids under 12 years old. They will put you in touch with a nanny agency and they could provide you with in-home care paid by Centrelink under the Special Child Care Benefit.
