Let me try to answer some questions.

Anne-Marie--yes depression does factor in some, and I am on anti-depressives. I don't believe I need to up the dose as this is the only place I have this crying issue. Or at least not today. smile I am on a facebook group for survivors of head and neck cancer and use it to reach out to others and let others reach out to me and yes it does help.

ChristineB--Thank you for "getting" me so few do.

Bart--Thank you for your message. I have read it but I am tired today and I couldn't absorb it. My chemo brain is worse when I am tired. I promise I will go back to it.

n74tg--This crying thing only really happens here in this forum. Every time I try to read comments and get involved here. As far as is there anything else going on; not to any great extent. I am back to work, back to keeping my grandson a couple of days a week, going to football/basketball games etc. Yes, I have to do less than I did before and sometimes I skip stuff because I need to rest. But I am working on getting used to my new normal.

Bart--Thank you for your message. I have read it but I am tired today and I couldn't absorb it. My chemo brain is worse when I am tired. I promise I will go back to it.

As a Crisis Intervention Chaplain I see, help, come along side of people most every day that are going though some really difficult stuff. Maybe I know here is where I can have people do that for me.

Thank you all,


Blessings,
Lori
