Colleen, I do think my husband recognizes that he is depressed at times. He knows that the chemo itself wreaks havoc with his moods and general overall feelings. He does not see a counselor, he does talk to friends and family members.
We saw his doctor yesterday and were told that his recent scan showed no new cancer, and the two small spots that he had are gone. We were both so thankful to hear that. The doctor said that there is a chance of those spots coming back. So I’m feeling relief, with one foot still in "worry mode." But I know that comes with the territory. He had one more chemo treatment yesterday, and they will do another scan in a few months. My husband perked up quite a bit with the news, in spite of the chemo, which of course he is never thrilled about. He spent several hours texting friends and co-workers about the news. I got a kick out of that because he is usually not much of a texter. Anyway, it’s a roller coaster, for sure. Thank you for letting me go on and on, here…. Even tho I have friends and family and a counselor to talk to…..there is something about speaking out to people on this Board that is very comforting to me. One Day at a Time 🌞
