Doreen,
I definitely would not push Lee to get into social engagements before he is ready. Things do get better, but it takes time, and the first couple of months after treatment can be the most difficult. I fought my depression by taking a nice walk every morning and giving myself a little errand or two to run each day and having a friend stop by and occasionally going to a men's cancer support group. Soon, I felt much better.

Best of luck,
Danny G.
