Managing depression during cancer treatment is incredibly challenging, and many patients experience this alongside the physical side effects. Consider discussing these feelings with your medical team, as they can often recommend mental health professionals who specialize in supporting cancer patients, or explore whether any medications might be contributing to mood changes. This community is also here to offer support and understanding from others who've walked similar paths.
