  I think alot of us go through bouts of depression after treatment ends. I am over one year out and still experience depression. Not working contributes to it I think. Spring has just arrived and I'm hoping that will help me.  I have to go for a chemo treatment today (boo!) and I really don't want to go. I do have next week off. Your not alone in what you are experiencing. Talk to you doctor and he may be able to help. 
  Love Ya, Danny Boy
