Emotional aftermath following breast cancer treatment
Breast Cancer | Last Active: 13 hours ago | Replies (130)Comment receiving replies
Hi
Wow I finished treatment this apr. Struggling with fatigue and the same emotional turmoil. Mood swings, depression. Also had 4 deaths happen during my treatment and putting my mom in a nursing home. In therapy and getting on meds. I have never felt this kind of mental exhaustion. I was told it's a form of ptsd

Very similar situation here. Having lost several family members in 4 years, plus 2 pets. In the midst of my husband’s cancer journey, and choosing to end his struggles, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two surgeries & two years later a friend of his mentioned PTSD. The symptoms I am finally admitting to surely fit that diagnosis.

I didn't think about PTSD but it sure fits. We have been through a lot. I too have had deaths to deal with along with everything else. I am a widow and family not nearby. Friends were wonderful and helpful, just not the same as family.
