I am 68 very very new to everything cancerous struggling financially petrified and start hormone therapy this coming Monday
Hi sorry to hear your have BC.... it is new for me too.... we have heart attacks in the family, but no one I know has cancer. I am 69 and usually very active, this time last year was returning from back packing in the Greek islands.
I was not given the option of Hormone therapy, apparently my receptors are not good enough, I understand little about that, so afraid I cannot help. I have just yesterday undertaken my 3rd chemo session in a two month period - strong medication. After my 4th in two weeks time I have to revert to three months of weekly sessions, prior to having surgery and then radiotherapy.
I am currently living in France, where the health service is excellent, but will be returning to uK to make it easier for my family. Financially that will be a struggle for me.... I see you are struggling financially, but I understand that there are extra allowances you can claim.....and I understand that MacMillan nurse organisation are good at pointing people in the right direction
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
