I finished just radiation about the same time as Gordon. I did not have as extensive a surgery but then they almost killed me with pain meds in the hospital I ended up in ICU on an intubator for almost a week before they called in a specialist. I was already on Wellbutrin and Zoloft. The Zoloft was increased before radiation. About a month ago I was at a stop light so tired I could have cried. I felt sad, tired, over whelmed, hopeless that is when it hit me that those are not symptoms of fatigue they were Symptoms of depression. I called my Shrink, he got me in the same day. He agreed that it was depression and increased my Wellbutrin. Within 3-4 days I felt almost like my before self.
I am worn out at the end of the day and I don't do much on the weekends but I am also working 8-10 days getting ready for a state audit so I am very happy with my progress.
