Thanks both of you. I have been trying to get her to do some things, and if she is having a good day she is more than up for it. Today, however, she was just too exhausted to do anything. But she does have days that when she's feeling ok she will do some gardening, go garage saling and take small walks. Her depression is usally at it's worst when she has been up all night. I too have felt like I need to be on an antidepressant, but so far I have been dealing with this with family/friends support and this wonderful board. I have heard Brian say that it takes about one month per week of radiation before you start to feel better & more like your old self. That seems like such a long way off for us.....Xmas to be exact. I am hoping that she will gradually be doing better along the way. We just take it "one day at a time" at this point.

Thanks again for your kind words of encouragment. They help SO much
