6 months agoI have stage 2 small cell lung cancer. Finished my chemo back in January 25, radiation too. Had another 5 rounds of rapid radiation in August. Have tried immunotherapy 3 times, each time it brought on terrible side effects, oncologist said no more therapy. My issue is I get depressed quite often and am having a hard time with that. Ever since my original diagnosis in October of 24 I have not been able to shed a tear, what’s wrong with me? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. TY

6 months agoHi Mary Ann. I am the opposite - I’ve never cried this much in my life. Funny thing is, it’s not about my dx mostly. It’s about how my family treats me. I’m new here and I just saw your post and see you had no comments, which must feel horrible. Please feel free to message me anytime.

6 months agoIs their treatment of you good or bad? My husband has been my rock thru all of this. Seems like every time I turn around another side effect comes up, you would think I would be in tears 24/7. None of this is under our control. Are u experiencing any side effects? Curious how you are handling the moods, etc?

6 months agoI a single and my sister moved in w me when I was diagnosed. She is very supportive but it’s hard bc of course she does not understand my moods and ups and downs. I am on my third line of treatment. The first two my side effects were so bad I was hospitalized for both. The side effects now are nausea and fatigue. I talk with my sister when my moods get hard. This last week has been very difficult. I’ve cried every night. I have not been in a relationship in 20 years so I don’t even know what it feels like to have someone hug and hold you when things get hard. But I’m so glad you have your husband and his support.
