Pat,

During treatment I didn't have issues with depression really...I didn't like being left alone, especially during or right after extended hospital stays. After treatment, after the realization of the long term effects/damage of my cancer and treatment is when depression set its hooks in me. I took an antidepressant for a few months to help me during the worst part of it and it really helped me out. I did have to learn and am learning to cope however as my face isn't coming back anytime soon and an antidepressant doesn't fix the underlying issues.

Good luck, Be Well

Eric
