Tony,
I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Indolent NHL and originally had CHOP-R that gave me a stable disease for about 18 months. Then this June I had to do another chemo and asked for an anti-depressent. I didn't think I really needed one though. The doc gave me Lexapro and after a month to let it fully take effect, I am very glad I did it (and so is my wife and son)! As you know our battles are many and every tool we have is important to use. Good luck and I hope you have a long, long remission! John
Give it some time
