Margie, I'm so sorry you are going through this, and I'm not surprised you're depressed. You deserve a medal for surviving. And it must be awful if people tell you to "look on the bright side" or "see how far you've come" etc when you're feeling like sh... most of the time. At 7 years post treatment, you can at least tell yourself you are a cancer survivor, and that is fantastic, but depression is no respecter of circumstance or reason. I wish you the very best and I'll be thinking of you. Linda
