If you are able to move in with family that might be the best solution available for you. Being recently married, this isnt an easy thing to do, just think of it as temporary. Its not easy to battle oral cancer and being with family will make it easier not just on you but also your husband. It will give you both extra help and thats something you both will need. Now isnt the time to be proud. If someone asks what they can do, try asking if they would care for your dogs. Or ask some friends, if they cant do it maybe they know someone who will.
