Hi GeorgeS,

Many cancer centers have a social worker on call that is available to both the patient AND family. Often insurance will even pay for the visit. Trying calling the nurse at the hemotology/oncology office and ask them to connect you with the social worker on staff. It works wonders to talk it out with someone who understands.

Peace and Strength,

Hopeful
