Anything anyone can do is awesome. I am a 38-year-old female with blood and bone cancer. The only help I'm getting is from my mom and brother, and I know I'm causing them stress by needing their help. I know they both would do anything for me. I just feel bad because I can't find work because of treatment. I'm sick the first 3 or 4 days after treatment, and no one wants to hire someone who can only work certain days. I filled out for social security, but haven't heard anything from them. I applied in March and was told I would be approved with my diagnosis, but it's taking forever. I have tried to talk to my doctors at Tampa General and was told a social worker there should have help for me, but I was told I would be contacted and haven't heard anything. I only get 78 bucks in food stamps, and that doesn't even feed me for a month. I just want to be able to help myself and take the pressure off them. My brother has a 12-year-old who he should only have to worry about. My mom gets one check a month of $900, and she shouldn't have to sit broke because of me. I'm so depressed because of all this. I'm ready to stop treatment so I can go back to work, but that's also not fair to my mom and brother, who are doing everything for me. I'm so lost on what to do next.
