Hi everyone Feel down and depressed is normal for most people with a diagnosis of breast cancer. I am on anti-depressents and still have times (like right at this moment) when I can't seem to be happy about anything. I went out today to lunch with my boss and supplier and they were laughing so much I thought to myself 'what is there to laugh about' and I was itching to go rather than sit there not moving for two hours. I was diagnosed in May 2009. Had a mastectomy in December 2009 and lymph node removal. Two nodes positive, ER positive, PR positive and HER2 positive.. Chemo, radiotherapy and Herceptin. Tamoxifen for two years and then moved to Arimex. Second mastectomy in November 2011 (my choice - no cancer). Zoladex injections and Overies and fallopian tubes removed (hospital decision) in March 2012. It is now January 2015 and I am still here although I am eating very healthly with the occasional biscuit, chocolate cake etc and very rarely a glass of wine or G and T I have stopped exercising as I have developed psoriasis (a non infections) skin disease due to stress. I had a CT scan this week for my chest, abdoman and pelvis. Keep strong, as I said I am still here and although not happy, I feel well. Might increase the anti-depressent dosage however! xxxx
