@gingerbarnes hi Ginger, I apologize if I missed this piece of information earlier. I’ve had health issues myself to deal with. The swollen tummy issue on your left side… what did your hematologist/oncologist say about that?
It’s frustrating to feel as though you’re not being heard by your doctors. Hugs.

Hi Ginger ! I do understand how you feel ! I have had many episodes of feeling so bad physically and mentally that I questioned whether I wanted to continue!!
I take two antidepressants every day to keep me from getting depressed 😔
Please speak with a doctor and ask for medication to help you emotionally and mentally!!
It is not a weakness when we get medication to help us stay strong enough to fight our physical illnesses
My medication makes a huge difference how I feel mentally!!
Search for better doctors who care about a patient!!
The illnesses we have are enough to validate our need for antidepressants!!
It’s almost impossible to cope and deal with serious illnesses without being mentally and emotionally strong !! Please ! Keep looking for doctors who will help you!! There is nothing worse than being dismissed by a doctor whom you went for help ! May the GOOD LORD HELP YOU DEAL WITH ALL UOU ARE COPING YOU!!
