Years before my cancer I went through serious depression bouts. At that time Prozac was the best SSRI and I was on it twice for fairly long periods. I can honestly say that it likely saved my life at one point. I would urge you to speak with your docs about one of the newer ones and not be afraid to try one. I think it would really help.
Like you I went through my cancer last year alone. I will say though that my friends were great. But I found it ultimately more important to prove that I could get through it by myself. Stubborn I guess.
I don't do the Facebook thing but please feel free to message me here if you'd like to communicate, to vent, to whatever.
We're all here for you.
