Hi, through the cancer council we are able to speak to a financial advisor I believe. I also have the number of a place that I got through the hospital. I know exactly how you're feeling. This is my second diagnosis in 2 years, so I am really struggling emotionally at the moment. I am trying to teach my husband everything and we are trying to sort out or finances. I don't know that anyone copes well financially unless you are a gazillionaire! Lol. Check with centrelink, you may be entitled to a different payment because of the circumstances. Good luck, Deb xx
