My husband has just been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, from the descriptions it's likely stage 3. He's currently in hospital, but we think will come out to be cared for at home, we don't have a full diagnosis or treatment plan yet.
He's a pensioner, I have a 4 hour/week contract (yes, 4) in a convenience store and earn a little from self-employed private dog training. As such, if I am caring for him full time (which I will have to, given his current condition) I will not be earning much (if anything), but benefits only kick in once he's been eligible for 6 months.
What do I do in the meantime? I've been cancelling subscriptions and looking at getting a council tax reduction, but it's not going to cover the bills. Any advice would be much appreciated.
