Going it alone
How do you do this on your own? In my second round of A/C chemo. Don't know what to do.

Hi Rose,
take care.
I would echo the advice of others and reach out to your GP and other health and social services. When I was first in hospital for the surgeries I was offered social worker visits to help with house work and child care. But I didn't need them. They do exist it is just a matter of finding them!!
But I would also highly recommend a counsellor or psychologist for yourself so you have a person you can use as emotional support.
Hopefully a combination of Medicare and volunteer labour will mean that support isn't too pricey, but you might just need to set aside a day to sort it all out.
