I agree with Amy, the above posts have certainly given me food for thought. Just recently (last couple of months)I have been really down and depressed the doctor has even suggested antidepressents which I'm afraid I refused so started taking St John's Wort which have helped a little but still couldn't shake the feeling of sadness and after reading this thread I have just realised I have been mourning for my old "normal" life before cancer. But even though most of the posts in this thread are encouraging it's still difficult to make your mind get back on track and adjust to what is now the "new normal". Linda
