Thanks for the info. Yes, the oncologist's attitude is that it's one of the normal side effects and that's just how it goes for some people. He said he was sorry I was having this side effect but that's about it. He's been very good about treating my PHYSICAL side effects (Gabapentin for hot flashes, Flowmax for urinary issues) but is kind of brushing aside the mental ones.

It is a shame oncologist did not take your mental health symptoms seriously. If it affects your quality of life, should be treated like any other side effect. I hope your provider at annual physical will provide better advice.
