Hi Kat, When our "group" would meet we came to the conclusion that everyone with Cancer needs a "happy pill" Life is hard but when you add cancer to it ... It is good to have something that helps you to handle it better. I also have been given "Cancer Buddies" through the years, not Herceptin patients or even breast cancer patients. I found a lot of them were not only frightened but dealing with depression. An antidepressant, and learning to look at things in very small amounts,Is very helpful.We have to handle so much and seeing down the road too far becomes overwelming, So take on only a minute at a time... or an hour at a time or a day.. is something that I try to encourage each to do.. Also exercise in even small amounts really does help get the endorphens going, and that ability to deal with things in a better way becomes stronger
take care, Marily
