Hi @LisaJHM,
Sorry you have been going through such a hard time lately! I think we all have those times when we feel totally overwhelmed and anxious about what lies ahead for us! I try to rationalise it by thinking that really no-one, affected by cancer or not, really has any control over what happens in our lives. I am four and a half years out now, and just am teying to take each day as it comes, and make each day count. That's not to say tho, that there aren't days, and nights, when the dark thoughts still sneak in.
After a particularly rough patch last year, my oncologist prescribed Lexapro for me, which seemed to help with the number of days where things seemed to get to me. Migh5 be worth having a chat to your dr and telling them how you feel.
Like you, I only contribute here occasionally, but am forever grateful for the fabulous support and advice I have received here.
I do hope you can get some support and start to feel better. Im sure there are some tough days, but also some fabulous ones ahead for you.
Best wishes, Michele xxx
