Damn doctors, they don't seem to know how just the tone of their voice can send a patient into an emotional tailspin. Yes the emotions (depressions) run hot and cold especially in this after treatment time where all you can do is wait....for me the 6 months after treatment were some of the worst. I can't imagine what I would have been like if I had lost my father in that same time. I agree with you, the appointment Wednesday should help you to get peace of mind.
