Feeling low and guilty
I know logically that I have so much to be thankful for but I’m starting to experience the mood swings thanks to being on Anastrozole; it’s only been a month but I’m truly hoping it will settle down. ...
Hi @Rdc2022
it wasnt hard finding a psychologist who specialised in cancer related distress ( I got the referral from my breast cancer surgeon who is associated with St Vincents Hospital in Sydney) but it was hard getting an appointment!
Initially I was told that there were no appointments for 3 months and I asked to go on a wait list if there was a cancellation which of course there was as a result of Covid 19.
My GP had also told me she could give me some names if needed.
I also meant to say that I am pretty good emotionally now - not 100 percent but in a much better place than where I was.
Another resource I found helpful was the blog by Dr Liz O’Riordan a UK breast cancer surgeon who got breast cancer - she did a TED talk on it which was really good.
