Hey Donna....to answer your question, yep, I think that most go through the "rock bottom" phase...be it patient or caregiver. We are having one of those times now. Hubby isn't returning phone calls or re-setting appointments, and I'm just too tired and strung out right now to be his cheerleader. Family is of no help....kids are either too busy or too scared to come around so they don't. I do agree with Sandy...make your own support network and I agree with Liz...chin up! avoid the negative and come here for support.

For me, the best way out of a total funk is to throw myself into doing something that takes my mind away from the negative. Reading, crocheting, sewing. Something where you can't think about the present moment.

Best wishes with your CT results. BTW "little miss sunshine" is highly overrated. smile
