@kmakm, Hi, as Afraser has put so well, you would take an antibiotic if needed, I too realized after some gentle pursuasion from my GP, and McGrath nurse, went on to anti-depressants, and after about 4 weeks realized just how much they helped me,I was more in control of my emotions and my partner said I was a much nicer person to live with!,I have had metastatic breast cancer since 2013 and have found along with complimentary therapies that the anti depressants have made life a little easier to deal with, nothing about treating breast cancer is easy, we just do the best we can on any given day, and I have also realized that I do not have the time or energy to allow stress into my life, please take care of yourself, be gentle on yourself,
