Hello @rhongirl I am really sorry you are still feeling this way. Cancer can be very traumatizing. Contrary to what the doctors told me, it wasn’t a year of treatment and then my life would be back to normal. That ship sailed with the first phone call I made and said “ I have a lump”.
I am going to tell you honestly that without a little better living through chemistry (Zoloft) I would not be here writing this today. I would be curled up in my room wanting the world to stop and let me off.
I know it is yet another drug, but I consider it the first cancer drug that actually made my quality of life better. The doctors tried a few others and I had a break from them at one point but frankly I am just………..better with this drug.
You have been through a lot, and you have a right to be happy again? It won’t always feel this way, even if it seems like it now. If you feel unsafe, please dial 988.
I would like to ask if you are mentally safe right now? Do you have a doctor following you now that you might talk to about this?
