HI Nat

Sorry to hear of what happened. I was diagnosed with cancer myself recently. You didn't say what it is, but I kind of get the feeling that from your description that I have the same thing. Maybe the cancer has caused your depression, or you have depression because of the cancer.

I went to a support group for it, and at first it was OK. But after a while, I got tired of it. They talked too much technical and medical language that I could not understand. And it would just drag on and on. They were nice guys, but I couldn't deal with it after a while.

On the forum boards, it may be similar to this place. I have gone to the forum boards about it and some of the stories were very drastic. So I found it to be more upsetting than uplifting. It would increase on my anxiety. Bear in mind that on forum boards, it's a free for all. Anything goes.

It sounds like to me that your cancer was caught early. If you can explore around and do your homework, perhaps the treatment maybe very simple for you. It might just be a minor radiation treatment that's like nothing or some little part can be cut out. Like I said I don't know what you have.
