Anxiety and Depression with cancer

Hi @riss81, I ended up seeing a psychologist when I was diagnosed 4 years ago as I was so overwhelmed. I found it really helped me. If you have a breast care nurse, please ask them if they can recommend some options for you. I found that whilst chemo is a physical challenge, the mental challenge is enormous. My nurses also explained that chemo messes with hormones which may explain the change in your moods. Please let your health team know how you are feeling, don’t try to tough it out as your emotional wellbeing is as important as your physical health. I also called the Cancer Council as they also offer a free service. This was also very helpful. Take care 🌸
