Hi, I am 33 years old and have two kids. I had Endometeral,and cervical cancer diagnosed in March 2006, I had 12 blood transfusions a full hysterectomy and removal of nerves to my bladder. I had to be opened back up to fix a bleeder after wards. Then in June 2006 I was diagnosed with invacive ductal breast cancer. In July I had a bilateral mestomy and sentenal lymphnode disetion. I had stage 2 breast canceer. I had reconstruction at the same time. Then in Augest I had a port a calf put in. In september I started chemo tharopy. Adromyson and cytoxan, fallowed by taxol. I losted my hair. I shake so I no longer drive, my menapause is horable, if I get too hot the room spins and I get a realy bad headache. I am on femara now for hormonal therapy. I am tired all the time and wake up 30-40 times at night due to the hotflashes. If I keep the house under 60* I don't get sick. I suffer from depression to and am on effexor xr 75 mg. I tried to baby sit and slept rather than watch the kids. If I do too much my hole body hurts.
My question is I can't get a job, because I've had cancer, and I can't get disabilty. Is there anything I can do? I have a family to take care of. My husband was fired from his good paying job and is only working for min. wage. So, I need to work.
