My name is Richard, I am 68 yro, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer 4 weeks ago with 2 tumors, my surgery was 10 days ago with a follow up appointment with my urologist 3 days ago, the results of the tests completed on the tumors and biopsies are conclusive that I have cancer, however I will have to go back into hospital in 4 weeks time to have repeat surgery and deeper biopsies taken as the surgeon is not satisfied he has removed all of the cancer. I am finding myself so alone and becoming quite depressed and anxious as I have no family or close friends for support during this tough time for me. Is it normal to become depressed when you have cancer ? , should I be seeing my GP regarding antidepressants ? All of my life i have been fit and healthy although I did smoke but don't anymore but never been on antidepressants in the past. At the moment I cannot get out and go for walks etc because my surgery is still healing, I just feel so isolated at home and becoming very negative about all of this. Has anyone been in a similar situation to me, and if so what did you do to help. Thanks, Richard  ... View more
