    Hi Diane, I was so sorry to hear that you are feeling like this, can I also suggest you or your daughter contact either Beyond Blue (1300 224636), who can offer immediate support to anyone suffering depression, or to contact the Cancer Council (131120) who offer telephone support and run support groups with others that have been through cancer and understand the impact this can have on our lives. Nat is right, your GP should also be able to help you out and may want to refer you to a counsellor. There is no shame in taking up this support, you have been through a tough time and a little bit of extra help can work wonders in turning things around. Best wishes, Jane xx

    Hey Dianne,it's Robyn!!! It is great to hear from you.I am so sorry that you are feeling so down at the moment,but I feel sure that this is only temporary.You have done the right thing by coming on here and connecting with other ladies.I sometimes wonder how I would be if I hadn't stayed on this network.I think it takes such a long time to recover completely,if we ever really do.As time goes on,we get further away from our initial diagnosis,but we always have that worry ,somewhere in the back of our minds.You have more to contend with than lots of us Dianne,and now to have the worry of your sons rejection,on top of everything else.It doesn't seem fair,but the best thing that you can do,is to try and just take care of YOU.Please keep talking on here,and as you know Dianne,there is always someone here to talk to.I will make sure that I check in on you over the next few days.Feel free to msg my in box if you want to Dianne.Keep your head up and try not to worry too much about your sons Dianne.It may take time,but these things usually settle down over time.Cheers Robyn xox

    Hi Dianne

    I'm  so sorry you are feeling so low. Apparently it is not unusual to feel like this once the treatment is finished. You finally have time to take in everything you have been through. This can also be the same for the people around us. Perhaps your son is not coping with everything you have all been through. 

    Go to see your go and see if you can get a mental health plan going. Organise some counselling and discuss how you are feeling. The whole bc experience is like an onion (to quote Shrek). It has so many layers and can effect everyone differently at different times. Hopefully the doctor and a counsellor will be able to give you strategies to deal with how you are feeling. They may also be able to give you some insight into how those around you are dealing with things. It could be your son is not coping or maybe he is just sick of hearing about it. Who knows? Maybe he thinks you should just be over it but unfortunately bc impacts on everything and it's not that easy to just shut the book and say that treatment has finished so all is good and just move on. Be kind to you. Hang in there. Karen xox
