Do something small for yourself everyday - something you like and enjoy and keep your mind busy listen to the radio (talkback is good) or find a youtube video around your interests and immerse (and distract) yourself and thoughts that way. Be sure to also try to do something special with your teenager and 10 yr old --- they will be feeling a little lost too
Thinking of you - we all know (to some degree) how you must be feeling. Loui X

As long as it is not breast cancer you have, can you not go on HRT, or, are you just not allowed it at all with having the cancer?? if you are allowed maybe try some HRT whilst your battling your illness as well. If your not allowed it, try lots of lifestyle changes,
Vitamins, B12, omega oils, Magnesium, ginger tea for slow digestion if you have been getting that, eat little and often, high protein low carb meals, to avoid sugars dropping, drink plenty of water, to avoid dehydration after hot sweats and high temperatures,, avoid caffine and alcohol, or keep that in moderation, take brief gentle walks as evercise, swimming is a good one to do if your able, keep a regular sleeping routine, so you dont knock your clock out affecting your sleeping patterns, and practise breathing relaxation techniques to help you through the anxiety, and think about trying a low dose anti depressant from the dr, that doesnt interfer with your cancer meds to help you through your depression whilst going through so much, it will help, and it will only be temporary to get you through until your post, you are considered post, when you havent had a period for one full year, your symptoms then should start to decline, you will be left with hot flushes though, and post symptoms can last for a further 5 years, but they should deline as you go, fingers crossed, if they dont then go for HRT, after you have finished your cancer treatment, im assuming your treatment is for five years?? good luck with it tam.
