Re: Post Herceptin Emotions
Hi Ruth,
After my treatments and readjustment to work, i was feeling pretty stressed, sad and depreessed. I also had anxiety and panic attacks that I could not control. I decided to look por professional help (psychiatrist), and it made wonders. Taking medication was necessary but it have made wonders, I feel much much better now. I lost my job 4 months ago and with that all my medical priviliges. I live in a country with a difficult situation, but in spite of all that, i feel rather good and my anxiety and depression are controlled. It would probably be good if you talk to your doctor and see what he/she can offer. I can understand that what you are going through is quite hard. Best of luck and keep us posted. Hugs to you.
