Hi ladies as you all probley know cancer diagnosis affects your mental health has any one tried anti depression medication if so what was your side affects xxx

  • Hi . I'm so sorry to read you're still suffering - I often wonder where my emotions are hidden as I rarely seem to be able to react to what's going on around me. I should be in bits but am more likely to worry about getting Xmas cards written - which I haven't at the moment!

    Why not type in anti depression medication in the search bars at the top of this page. You may get some answers there.

  • how are you doing? Hope your treatment hasn’t bein to rough on you xx

  • Yesterday was the pits, laxatives worked and suffered explosions from what seemed like every orifice! Ended up going back to bed, something I never do!

    The worst in the peripheral neuropathy for me. I'm finding typing difficult and can't easily hold a pen, still got cards to write (all of em!) My feet hurt like hell & I wonder how a cocktail of drugs can possibly do that!

    Good thing I've lost 10kgs since September but not a recommended way of losing!! As I say, I've got to keep my sense of madness or I'll cross the line! When I feel down I watch episodes of Would I lie to you and that never fails to crack me up _ even when I know every episode word for word!

    Not sure if this is the norm for me or just a part of the cycle. wrote it's not pleasant but it's do-able!

    Hugs, Bucket Barb xx

    PS note my new name, I go everywhere accompanied by a little black bucket! LOL
