I agree with many on the depression, I was told from the beginning it was very common that right after the treatments were done that people go in a funk/depression of sorts. For most of us the goal is to get through the battle ,,,,then you wait and it can get depressing when you are hurting, can't eat, nothing is normal, etc. Typically with help, this normally passes. But no wonder we are depressed duh. Kinda of like when I was at the Drs waiting to hear about a MRI or PET test result they would take my blood pressure and it would be off the charts...no s%#!, Take it after the Docs tell me no cancer !!!
