Uncontrollable Emotions
Help I feel like I am going crazy...……...
I have so far had 3 rounds of TC (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy and have managed it quite well. I have had about 4 days where I have been unwell but by day 7 I am pretty much back to my normal self.
It has been 2.5 weeks since my last round, but this past week I have been so emotional and just cant seem to get it under control is this a side affect from the chemo or could it be caused by the onset of menopause. Is this normal or how long will it last I am done with it. :'( I have 1 round left and cant wait to have it over and done with.
Thanks you in advance

- It's not uncommon to feel that way towards the end of chemo. I think it's to do with coming towards the end of such intense treatment. I was managing more or less okay until the end of chemo and then I pretty much fell apart overnight. I managed finally to get in to see a psychologist and had about half a dozen appointments over the next few months which helped me get my head above water again. If you're not already seeing a psychologist or counsellor it may well be time to think about it. You can access a mental health care plan through your GP.
