    Hi. I am sorry about your diagnosis and sorry you are feeling down. All the appointments, all the treatments, all the worrying...it affects us differently. Some of us don't feel "down" until we are all finished with our treatments. That probably sounds crazy, but it is true; we get wound so tight with all the running we have to do and we are so focused on our battle that when we are told we don't need to battle any longer, we feel lost. But most of us, at some point, feel what you are feeling. Can you try to focus on the positives? You are getting excellent care. You were diagnosed at Stage I. I know it's hard, but please try to keep the good thoughts going.

    I know how that is, I went through Radiation treatment during my third diagnosis. I was mad at the world. It does play on your mind. Why don't you ask a question of the whole network and let some of the others on the site give you a little help. You might just ask if anyone has felt this way. Post it on the questions tab at the top of this page and you will get responses from lots of people.

    Thanks for posting, I hope you can work through this.

    I am finding going through daily radiation is playing on my depression and loneliness. It seems everyone else is out living their lives and I have to wait for planning the rest of mine til after radiation. It is an emotional,mental and spiritual journey I was not expecting. I am grateful to all the doctors and clinics and treatments. Just having a down time.
