Hi Christine,
I am a single mother too I had cancer of the tongue and lymphnod. I have a 14 year old son. I was lucky the cancer center was only 5 minutes away from me so I drove to my appts. My mom came for my chemo. I had my parents help with getting food and my son I had to go in for a neck disection in march and my friend came and watched my son for 4 days. Now I wish my son could drive because he could of took me to my throat dilations. My treatments ended last october but I am still on the peg tube and slowly recovering I lost 50pds. I know being a single parent is hard. Did you start treatment yet? I will be praying for you I trust in the lord to bring me through this. My son is a big help. Try to keep eating and swallowing as much as you can through treatment because radiation screws up your throat and your jaw muscles
god bless you
