I think part of the problem is that everyone expects us to bounce back like Lance Armstrong. My co-workers and bosses were good to me too, but I think somewhere along the way, they expect me to be "cured" because I'm still here, even though I'm having heart problems from the chemo & herceptin, and now have to go to a pulmonologist and a cardiologist. I was like you and worked many hours, but some months ago I realized my brain didn't function the way it used to and that made me kind of sad so I decided to go out at the next lay-off, but I'm still here but less productive. I notice that my bosses don't give me as much to do anymore. I think that the Effexor I'm taking for hot flashes helps my mood because it's an anti-depressant. Sassy, being depressed is not good for your physical health so please talk to your new doctor about this. I hope you find one you really like. I will pray for you.
