Can you help put some security back into my family

I am currently coming towards the end of my remission after being diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago. I am married with two children who are now 8 and 11. This year i habe managed to reduce my antidepressants completely to zero. I felt like i was getting my life back on track, i felt stronger again. Unfortunitley my husband has now been diagnosed with cancer. HOW UNLUCKY CAN ONE FAMILY BE? He has been told by his boss at work they can not pay him any sick pay from the company.
