Hi again Kate, it's hard really hard but give yourself time to come to terms with all that has happened.

hi Kate sorry you are feeling down. Tamoxifen may take a while to settle. I was on it for 5 years and was ok but then I was on antidepressants as well. You can get through this and the forums are a great place to share how you feel. I had 8 cycles of chemo, a MX with recon and then rads. That was 7 years ago now and life is more normal again, a different normal as I get so tired but still can do lots of things that I enjoy. take care and don't expect too much will take time to feel ok again love Rehana ...
