I think the best psychologist is the one that YOU can relate to. Doesn't really matter how experienced they are at treating cancer patients if you don't like them and especially if going to the hospital makes you uncomfortable then it's not going to work.
A "cancer" psychologist was recommended to me but when I read her practice newsletter I knew that she was probably going to drive me crazy!! Luckily I found one who was perfect.
Good luck with managing your fatigue. Exercise helps with both depression and fatigue but the hard part is working out how much you should be doing when you already feel so exhausted and are still recovering from cancer treatments. Do you have an exercise physiologist or personal trainer who can assist you? Your GP may be able to refer you.
