Depression

Depression is often a part of life following any cancer diagnosis. Life has changed and something that only happens to someone else has happened opening the window to so many thoughts and fears. For many time helps as our new reality becomes part of life and we stop waiting for the other shoe to drop. For others the need to talk to a therapist of even short term medication may be helpful. Do not let depression go on for very long without talking to your health care provider. Some of the larger cancer centers have mental health staff that are part of the services they offer.

As for the financial maybe others can chip in but again check and see if there are any state or local services offered. Hopefully your treatment will be over soon and things will be back to your new normal.
