Depression

How does everone deal with depression? I am stage 4, doing well on chemo, pain meds are working, take effexor for depression, but still get panic attacks about having cancer. I just can't believe I'm going through all of this and I feel all alone. I have joined a support facility which offers all kinds of programs for everyone touched by cancer, called "The Gathering Place" in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I'll be attending tonight and I know this is going to help me. I actually look forward to my chemo treatments just so I have other survivors to talk to.
