You will get through this. I just know you will. My son was in pretty much the same spot you are, except that he had already lost his job, and going thru a very difficult divorce. He also had squamous cell Stage 2 but now, more than 5 years later he doing really great! In fact, he told me recently that life for him is even better than it was before cancer! He has a new significant other in his life, a great job and they just bought a new house.

Eric knows what he is talking about and it looks like he's given you great suggestions above. So hang in there and keep checking in here to let us know what is happening with you.
