The "Down" Side of Cancer

oh dear, i know exactly how you are feeling, although when i finished my treatment, i was great, then 4 months later, fell in a heap, but lucky i recognised it, and my doc, gave me efexor, although i did try and dodge it, saying i was a strong person and would get through this, but he advised not to go down that road, so instead of crying, and grumpy i took the efexor, and was the best thing i done, although i had just been to the doctor 1 year later and asked to come off it, so we 1/2 the dose, but then the anurysm came along, so i have been advised to stay on it until after i get through this, i have never been bothered with depression before bc, and as you say for docs to evaulate you based on depression is wrong, when it really is part of the process of breast cancer, and at a time when you are down, you dont really need to be fighting for what is rightfully your's. hope the efexor starts to kick in soon, then you can start kicking some ass... and get your just dues.  GOOD LUCK XX
