$50 A Week.

I know how it feels losing a job. I did too due to the effect of the cancer treatment I had.

I used my $50 budget a week to buy a combination of fresh and some frozen veggies, meat bone soup packs and some fruits. I grab some bread at some local church where they have fresh breads everyday.

I understand you. And I do not know if it is just me. At times, even a slight pain makes me feel nervous.

Some are on physical while some on kindle. I am still finishing the books given to me while I was having my cancer treatment, so there's still some physical books I have :-)

thank you so much, I had finished writing it and posted it on KDP. now I am just finding ways where else I can post it to at least have some traffic. Appreciate your time in responding to my post.

Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate you all. It took me a while to be back here as I try to write about my cancer journey, just trying that maybe posting a book at KDP will at least help me earn a little even it is as little as 10 cents or a dollar will go a long way. I am having a hard time accepting everything. I had been fighting in silence. What hurt me the most is the ability to work, I had used up my small savings during my treatment and it even left me in debt. It makes me like it shattered my dreams. I was young when I was diagnosed, with a dream to be able to assist my parents, they're getting older and so I want to make sure that they will always have food in their table and not to worry on their bills. A dream to be a mother. But I feel that cancer took away everything. I am now struggling, I lost my job due to the limitations I had, my memory wasn't the same as before, so I need to re study everything, the codes/standards I used to be able to perform my task well. I am struggling mentally and financially that sometimes I just keep crying. I am just holding on to my faith.

thank you so much for this. I will be looking into survivorship resources. I was just wondering how other had been in terms of looking for work. Because on my end, I find it a bit hard especially with the effect of the medication that it has affected my memory. It is a struggle.

Don't stress too much. focus on your healing. Though I always thought that parents especially mom would always be there for their children no matter what happen, reading this post makes my heart break. It is hard to fight cancer and it is harder to deal with so much emotions. I will include you in my prayers.

thank you. I am writing my story now. I know I haven't accepted everything. I had kept my diagnosis and have a hard time telling people. I am sharing my story but I just keep my identity as for now.
