@lioness Thank you for your feed back. I guess I am not on alot of meds considering. For neuropathy is gabapentin, elavil and percocet. Depression is effexor and lexapro and lasix for fluid. I now need to wrap my head around and try to get straight. My husband died Jan. 7, 2018 and since then I have fell apart physically and mentally. I saw the breast surgeon yesterday to get a plan in place to hit this breast cancer. I really like the doctor and will have surgery on Jan. 8, 2020. Wow, 2020 is just up the road. She told me that newly diagnosed breast cancer in women is like 70% after the loss of their spouse. Grief, stress, anxiety greatly increases cancer risks. She said she was planning on doing a paper on that very subject. Interesting for sure.

@summertime4 I'm sorry for your loss. My husband passed away in 2000 on 22 of this month. The first year is the worse with all the holidays but it will get better every year you,ll never forget but it will start to get more tolerable . A lot of meds interact with each other have you checked with your Dr. or pharmacist? I use a website Drugs .com everytime the Dr adds another med to see about interactions . One thing that helped me was exercise meditation and just music to listen to . How are you doing . Good luck with your surgery I will keep you in my prayers for the 8th. Hard to believer we are starting another decade .
