I am also going through a divorce which seems to push me further down. I really wish this was not happening at the same time.
Even though I take meds for both depression and anxiety I am constantly anxious esp in the morning when I try to hide in the bed instead of getting up.
When I exercise I end up having increased fatigue for 2-3 days; this also increases fear and brings me down. I am afraid to exercise because of the after effects. Exercise used to be enjoyable and make me feel better... now it's the opposite.
I wish I could do things that I could do before Tx.
I am upset and angry about the fatigue, trismus, dry mouth, inability to exercise enough (which causes many other problems), etc.
Often it's difficult to make calls and make appointments and advocate for myself when the Docs don't care or act as if it's not their job.
Dx 10/06 Adenoid Cystic carcinoma; Stage I. Soft palate/minor salivary glands. Tx surgery 11/06 Tomotherapy (targeted IMRT) 3/07
