Emotions out of whack
My surgery is approaching soon and I'm emotional. I finished 6 rounds of chemo beforehand. I don't know if my emotions are fear of the surgery, hormones being out of whack, being tired from chemo or what. Today was a joyless day. Mentally I know I still have things to be thankful for but emotionally, I can't get it together. Starting to wonder if I need some meds to help. Then, now I'm scared of taking anything for fear of messing up treatment or causing a new cancer. How long should I try to see it through before asking for medicinal help? Hoping these blahs will pass naturally. Have any of you taken anything to help with nerves during treatment? If so, what? Any side effects?
