      I started on anti-depressants before interferon and still on them four years later. I think I could get by without them but my wife wants me to continue. Since she has to deal with me, I continue.

      Most cancer centers have a psychrist, set up an appointment. She has been focused on completing treatment now she has time to worry about the future. It could be anixety v/s depression.
