Finished Radiation August 5th, 33 treatments... No chemo. I'm miserable. I'm starting to feel really depressed. I had this false belief that a few weeks after it ended I would start feeling better... but I don't. I feel awful. I'm really down right now and feel like my life will never be good again. I'm sorry to be so sad right now and a downer to everyone. It might help if people told me their stories of when they got better... maybe if I knew there was light at the end of this tunnel I could feel better about the future. Right now I feel lost and scared... My oncologists office did not prepare me for the time after treatments. They never said how it would be and how I might feel. I've just never been more depressed and don't know how to make it better. Please tell me life gets better again, because right now I cannot see the light... I have hopes it's there though. Thanks.
