Why cant banks and other people when you need help just give you a straight answer instead of fobbing you off with sorry I cant help but phone this number they'll sort you out. Why is it so difficult for someone struggling because of a cancer diagnoses to get any help? Cancer doesn't just affect the person in question but the whole family, my duaghter used to go ice skating with her dad on Saturday mornings whilst I am at work but since his diagnosis he obviously hasn't been able to do this, its really frustrating for him I have asked for help regarding money matters but keep hitting my head against brick wall, just when I think that i've found a solution another obstacle is put in your way I am so fed up not only am I dealing with my husband having been diagnosed with cancer trying to keep afloat because he is self employed and not earning any wages whilst he is off, looking after my 11yr old daughter making sure the dog is walked and doing the usual household chores I feel like I haven't got 5mins to myself ahhhhhhhhhhh!
