Was 54, breast cancer surgery, reconstruction through 3 months. Went very well. Was volunteering with B.C. Associations. Was happy! Started Tamoxifen and within a week started crying all the time. So depressed it stopped volunteering and I stayed home alone until I went back to work. Yes AGED! Almost needed a cane to walk. I managed to work ok, but a very different person ever since. I finished tamox after 5 yrs. Physically SO much better! But depression worse ever since. Now 10 yrs, 65 yrs old and had to retire.. so depressed. No meds help. Tried them all. I pray constantly for relief. Im ok around people when I can get out. Put up a front. I miss my real self!!!
