Hi @Neomi, sorry you are going through this. It is all such a shock, isn't it. So overwhelming as so much to deal with and process.
Discuss the depression with your dr. It's pretty common for people going through breast cancer to be susceptible to depression. However other than the doctor, it really helps to do exercise like walking, take a up a daily gratitude practice, eat healthy food, see family and friends etc. Meditation can help too.
Also seeing a physiologist can help as well. I had a few sessions with a physiologist when I was going through treatment.
Regarding work I guess that's something you will need to work through. It probably depends on your situation. Cancer can be hard financially. I know there has been a few posts about this. There maybe some info regarding financial advice on the bcna website.
Take care 💐
