Cheryl, from my experience, taking an antidepressant has virtually saved my life. I've been taking Prozac since 1991 and it opened a new world to me. Looking back I think I had been depressed most of my life. I've recently been diagnosed with BC that is Her2/neu positive. My physician has bumped my dosage up a little in anticipation of surgery and chem in Feb. Remember it takes 4 - 6 weeks to feel positive effect. Well worth the wait. Good luck. I will be a regular on this group forum. Just found it today.
