@Silba - can you speak with a Social Worker via your Breast Care Nurse? When I was in distress from continuous bills this time last year ($6000 out of pocket expenses due to diagnosis & surgery) the social worker connected to the hospital arranged for one utility bill (to the value of $300 or thereabouts) to be paid for by the Cancer Council (from donations made by the public.) It wasn't a huge amount - but it was a relief to me.
I hope your hubby can get some jobs in soon .... how wonderful that your boys have stepped up to the plate & are helping out. That is awesome. xx
Don't forget to check out the Otis Foundation (http://otisfoundation.org.au) for the possibility of having a holiday at no expense, other than getting there and taking food and drink. I am going to Thredbo in 2 weeks for 5 days, thru Otis
