Hello everyone,
I am new on here and am hoping that by talking to others i may be able to get some help. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of october, I then went on to have a masectomy in the middle of december. I was very lucky to have an immediate reconstruction using my own tummy. Unfortunately this means alot longer recovery time as i have two areas that need time to heal. It has been a complicated recovery so far, A few weeks ago both wound sites got infected and both wound sites have partly opened up. As a result of the operation, Infection and recovery time i have been back and forth to the hospital alot, Sometimes 3 times a week. Iam obviously unable to work at the mo and my self employed husband has had to take alot of time off taking me to and from hospital visits as i am unable to drive at the mo.
My question is, Due to lack of wages at the moment and lots of expences like hospital visits, We are really struggling to keep up our mortgage payments. This is so stressfull, Is there any help out there that anyone knows of?? Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
