Hi, 

Last week I was diagnosed with breast cancer I am 34 years old. I’ve gone back to work this week and finding it a struggle as I can’t concentrate. I need to work as we need to pay the bills and basically we arnt able to get any sort of benefits or help. My husband is on just the uk average wage. We have a Son who is coming up 4.

when I go on the sick I will get basic sick pay around £90 a week. Our insurance doesn’t cover me either only if I die.  

I am selling my horses as I can’t afford to keep them while I am undergoing treatment and probably sell my car to save on tax insurance ect. 

I am having surgery 1st then maybe other treatments they aren’t 100% what that will be until all my results come back. How long did people with breast cancer take off work? And how did you cope financially? 

Regards

Kay
