Jeff, When my treatment ended I wanted to shoot myself I felt so bad. It lasted for months. I worked from home I would sit in my office throwing everything away because I was convinced I was dying. I slept for 20+ hours a day for months too due to morphine. I found an all mens cancer support group which saved my life I went to weekly meetings for 5 years. Then I started to feel a tiny inkling better and turned everything around. I started exercising 2 sit ups and 1 push up was all I could handle at first with in six months I was walking an hour every morning and lifting some serious weights. I never did anti depressants but they do help many people maaybe try it for a while while you are in the dumps. Look at the positives you beat the BEAST and are C Free. You will survive this too.
