Re: cancer is killing my spirit

Our dear Flori! It sounds as though you are getting back on top of things and feeling more hopeful. Having a respite from pain is everything! I'm dealing with spine and hip pain and finally got relief in recent days via PT. I cannot believe what a difference it made in my QOL and outlook
I like Aleve a lot too!
I think having someone to talk to is a wonderful thing and can be real support. Perhaps help you find a suitable antidepressant
Please try to remember that this is transient and you'll find the right combination
As the saying goes, when you're going thru hell, keep going
Keep the faith. You, of all people, do that on a daily basis
