Please call anyone of these organizations for help.

Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization
CancerCare
American Cancer Society Homepage
CancerCare can help direct you in (temporary) financial assistance and offers group, family and personal counseling. Maybe your family needs to understand what you are going through by being with others in the same boat. They are in denial and are scared for you. If they treat you as always, then in their own minds everything is fine. Why did you loose your job? Medical? You may need an attorney. Call Social Security ASAP. It takes a while to get benefits, but I have heard that some people get fast tracked because of the BC. You may need an anti-depressant. When I first started this whole thing, the Tamoxifen put me in to a suicidal mode. Weird - since I just fought for my life. After two weeks of taking zoloft, something in my head popped and I felt like me again - it truly was a moment of clarity. Please talk to you oncologist ASAP!!!
