Hi nystaten
I am so sorry about your wife's problems with breast cancer and other cancers affecting her body as I have had relatives and friends who have had cancer so I know the pain it gives a loved one and how hard it is on the families and friends to sit by and watch while we provide emotional support, love and try to make the process as less painful as it is by looking for better answers.

How can CancerCare help me?

I posted that and other cancer information in my blog but it may you take hours to go through all of it. So I am trying to post some of the ones I can remember for you.
Also check out and my favorite is
http://www.cleaningforareason.org/
The above provides free house cleaning for women going through cancer and as you know in this case women undergoing cancer do not have the energy to clean a house..
http://www.cancer.org/
I know there is more to help people undergoing cancer treatment with different medications and I was trying to find it in my blog and have not yet..
I hope this helps some and have you contacted hospice or a cancer support group to help her and you deal with this emotionally? It is hard to deal with as I very much know.
You have my best wishes and so does your wife at this very hard time you are both facing.
And have you check with NACA.com best viewed in internet explorer for helping you maybe save your home?
Best wishes to you both

Hi just needed somewhere to vent, I am a retired NYPD sergeant married for 22 years. The past 4 years my wife has been battling Breast Cancer. When first diagnosed we were glad they caught it early, but that was a false hope. It keeps coming back, this is now the third round of Chemo and this one is bad. It spread to the bone and last scan showed some in the liver. Our Doctor is great, but cancer is cancer, they don't know, they just keep trying different drugs. Today she was crying on the couch, and I'm not good with crying, I don't think she can do another round if the next scan comes back with bad news. This round was every week with a break every third week. She is sick constipated and can't sleep needless to say she is depressed. When I retired in 2006 I hoped she could find a part time job and so would I but now I am working full time again, and I'm tired too. If it wasn't for my two girl 16 and 14 I think I would have just given up, money is tight but we do ok, had to borrow from my 401k twice but at-least I have a 401K. I keep playing lotto but I think that thing is fixed (LOL). Well I'm hoping that Bill gates reads this and pays off my mortgage but I doubt it...thanks for creating this site.
