DEPRESSION

33 - "STRESS BUSTERS" - MAYBE YOU NEED ONE?

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on Tuesday, August 25th

It is normal to feel depressed some of the time when dealing with cancer. It is bad stuff. Only someone in total denial or a crazy person who is out of touch with reality doesn’t have some depressed feelings. Normal people occasionally feel like they are losing heart, getting burned out, just too tired to even think, too exhausted to even try, and too discouraged to even consider the possibilities of what I am saying. That is the time to tell your doctor.

12 - WHAT HAVOC CAN THE DRAGON REEK IN MY LIFE? THAT IS FOR KIDS - ISN'T IT?

Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on Tuesday, June 16th

Sue was out over 5 years from the surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for her cancer and looking good when I asked "how are you doing? She smiled " I am doing fine". Then with a sideways glance and not much more than a whisper she soberly confided " but the Dragon is always behind the door!"

When the chance of survival is uncertain and the prospect of a dramatic change in life is just too scary to consider, some simply refuse to read the writing on the wall. Instead, they hunker down and plow ahead, taking on more and more, moving ever faster and faster, burning themselves up and others out in an attempt to suck down every last drop of life. At such speed, wisdom cannot be found and her whispers are rarely heard – but the Dragon's voice always will be.

Uncertianty lurks like a dragon to defeat dreams
