Are you taking an AI or tamoxifen? For me, tamoxifen caused a whomping great case of depression and anxiety. I know others have had depression caused by an AI. Not everyone has this side effect, of course, but it does happen.

Hi
No I am not my oncologist did want me to try tamoxifen but I could only tolerate it 2 weeks and that was it and he said it wasn't really mandatory because I had dcis and I was stage zero it's just from going off hormones and the stress and Trauma I went through the year 2024 cancer for deaths during my treatment of people I really loved. I just finished counseling but they don't give you much it was only eight sessions which is nothing
