Hello All
I newcomer to the forum and this is my first attempt at joining in. I am just so sorry that I did not find this sooner, it would have been a big help to me over the past ten months.
I had a masectomy in November,followed by chemotherapy and finished my radiotherapy last month. I was on Herceptin every three weeks but they have to stop that for the time being because of a problem with my heart. I have to see a cardiologist on Thursday and he will decide if I can restart the Herceptin.
I really thought after finishing the radiotherapy I would feel so much better, but a depression seems to have come over me. Everything seems such an effort, cannot be bothered to do anything or go anywhere. I know I am as miserable as sin and horrible to live with. I suppose I thought life would get back to normal but what is normal now. My son (who lived with me) emigrated so had to move out of my house, now living in a flat with my partner (how he puts up with me I shall never know), breast cancer in November and made redundant at the end of November, have not worked since. So what is normal now?
Sorry to sound such a misery but is there anyone out there who has felt the same and how did they snap out of it.
Would love some advice.
Thanking you in advance
