Good morning! I had stage 3 Squamous Cell Carcinoma in my tongue. I had hemi-glossectomy surgery in May 2022 and finished radiation Aug 2022. I'm grateful to have come through it but having trouble accepting my new reality. I've never been a depressed person through my many trials in life but feeling overwhelmed trying to function with limited speech, lack of energy, weight loss, and my changed appearance from swelling and lymph edema. To make it worse, I was newly married and this has put a huge strain on my marriage. I really don't want to go on antidepressants and I tried a support group but seeing people so much worse off than me only made me fear my future worse (many of them started where I am now). How do you cope??????
