anyone experiencing depression and anxiety after double mastectomy, and after chemotherapy is over. I should be happy but I am more depressed and anxious now than I was at the earlier treatments. Anyone feeling like me??

    I have not had the same cancer as you, but I wanted you to feel heard. I think it is quite common to struggle with the long-term effects of all the treatments/surgeries we have to go through, so you are definitely not the only one. I for sure have my days. I hope that you are able to find some encouragement, whether it is considering talking to a therapist who specializes in cancer patients, or somewhere else. You are not alone.

    thank you. I have reached out to a psychiatrist that does work with cancer patients. Thanks for listening.
