Sallie - Do try to hang in there a little longer. Having just finished treatments is a big change, and any life change brings a lot of stress in itself, even if it is a good change like not having to make the daily trips any more. It takes time to make the transition between a former routine to a new one. Also the 2 or 3 weeks at the end of Tx are the worst for most and that is a big adjustment for both of you. Sometimes certain medications can cause changes in mood or behavior so this could be something to ask the doctor about (check the prescription bottle label). Remember - it Does get better!
