Re: depression?
Hi BusyBee - Welcome -and I am so sad to hear that your mom has been tired through her treatment time and even now, a month later. It must be hard on you as well. I have never been on taxol (although other members have and I am sure a few will chime in) - but I was fatigued for a few months after I finished with my Navelbine. Slowly I got out…walked…walked my dog….took the kids to their various events….and slowly strength came back. I also think there is a psychological hit that is certainly fatiguing; and may even lead to an understandable depression. Has she told her oncologist how she is feeling? Please hang in there and keep us posted.
Love
Kim (from CT)
