After reflecting and reading posts I wanted to share another part of my journey. When I was diagnosed in 2015, for the first time in my life I suffered from panic attacks and depression. During this treatment cycle my general physician prescribed anti-depressants and sleeping pills. They were not the most effective but I made it through the 18 weeks of chemotherapy.
When I had a re-occurrence in 2017, given another family situation I had the perfect storm for an emotional crisis (reoccurrence and a sister dying). I was having severe panic attacks, thankfully I found Dr Nejad at Swedish hospital. He is a psychiatrist who specialized in cancer patients; but for me his true specialty is his complete understanding of medicines that can help with panic attacks, sleeping and other affects of treatment. His regime was truly a life saver for me and completely managed all of my symptoms. I would strongly encourage all of you to try to find someone similar to him because his regime was completely difference then my general Doctor.
