My decision to start on antidepressants was difficult, but it changed ME for the better. I saw it as part of my cancer treatment, and not something to shun, disbelieve, or be afraid of.

I was diagnosed at the age of 28. At the time of my diagnosis, my husband and I had only been dating a little over a year. There is nothing that could have prepared us for a cancer diagnosis. We went from figuring out what the future had in store to being forced to deal with the realities of our “right now.”
It was my time to lean on the very same people who depended on me. In my head, there was no way that everyone wasn’t going to be there and support me in any way they could. However, that is not what happened.
