I've said many times that this cancer battle is 50% mental for the patient and a lot of that is going on behind the scenes so to speak and drains what little energy we have without us knowing the true culprit. I never thought I was depressed but I bet I was and just didn't know it. I mean how can anyone NOT be depressed dealing with all that's thrown at us !! That's one very important value of this site as it helps all of us affected by this cancer deal with it better.
