It is brutal. I'm sorry I couldn't give more, but my wife is currently a student re-training and we're having to make do on my salary; with kids thrown into the mix the money thing can sometimes be exhausting.
Two things: Macmillan grants are useful and can be accessed every six months (I think). I used mine for travel into London from Kent and it proved a godsend. Get your treatment team to help you with the application. Secondly, and in no way a flippant statement, look at diet. I modified what I was eating (because all I could fucking well taste was metal anyway!) to include food that was both high in nutrition (recovery) but very low in cost - lentils, pulses, tinned tomatoes for pasta etc. Our family of four now eat for less than £40 per week.
