When I was battling Breast Cancer a number of years ago I WAS in poverty and I had no help from anyone. On a daily basis I faced a battle to find the necessary funds to buy daily essentials like food and make my way to the hospital. Chemotherapy is stressful – and believe me when undergoing that sort of treatment the last thing you need is a medical assesment. However to make ends meat and keep myself afloat I forced myself back to work too soon and ultimately it took longer for me to recover. It is not something I would advise others to do.
