Depression
Hi There
My Dad is about to start his fourth cycle of Vidaza. Unfortunately he fell ill with Pneumonia last week and has been in hospital till today. He started becoming really depressed yesterday (becoming emotional) and is the same today. We're not sure whether the depression could be as a result of his medication for pneumonia or whether he's simply feeling down about his condition. This is so not like him normally although its been a really tough year for all of us, not to say how tough its been for him - we all say that he's an eternal optimist so its concerning. Do any of you have advice on how you remain positive in the grips of MDS?
Regards
Alison
