Like all of us our lives changed (even someways for the good, believe it or not) but it's not as bad as we feared. You will adjust to a new you and like most things, time cures all. Please talk to your doctors and let them know you are angry and depressed. They can help and you certainly don't need to battle these feelings on top of the cancer.
