So sorry to hear how you are feeling. There is so much support out there now if you can only access it - cancer rehab exercise classes (exercise improves fatigue), support groups, nutrition advice, therapies of all kinds.

You should have a haematology nurse specialist at the end of a phone or e-amil to advise and help you or contact Penny Brohn & macmillan where lots of advice and info available, funds, counselling. Carers Support Worker to help with mum, help from various charities to help you with your son. You aren't alone.

thelivingtree.org.uk is my local support group, couldn't manage without it.

You mention church so may suppose you are a Christian? In which case in your heart you know that you are unique and precious in God's eyes and no one is worthless. Please, please ask the orgs i've mentioned for help - depression after cancer is common, you are not alone in feeling so low and so many people DO want to help.

I know exactly how you're feeling. My doctor's staff helped me find a foundation that helped me with all the treatment costs insurance wouldnt pay after two years of spending every penny I had saved. I still have almost $10,000 in medical bills that my poor kids will have to pay out of my life insurance, but meanwhile I enjoy my grandchildren. Do try the American Cancer Society.

Sorry you feel so bad. I also have the fatigue, five years after diagnosis. Please get some counseling or in a support group. Check with the American Cancer Society.
