Four months after my treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, I was totally depressed feeling no light at the end of the tunnel. Then I was taken to hospital by my husband for treatment. I took antidepressants until now for five months. It is common for cancer patients to feel depressed especially for those diagnosed at an advanced stage. I had tonsil cancer of stage IV. Still alive and back to normal work. Support from family is very very important.
