Struggling with mental health

I think I need to admit I'm not coping well. I had a single mastectomy late Jan, we are 3 months on and I'm taking tamoxifen for invasive lobular cancer. I've healed well and have opted for no reconstruction. I had a sentinel node biopsy and they found cancer cells in 1 of 6 lymph nodes. No other treatment given. 

I'm finding it hard, I'm not due to be seen by anyone until next Jan when my right breast mammogram will be due. I'm concerned this isn't enough. If they found cancer cells why have I nit been offered radiotherapy? How am I supposed to know if these pills are even working? Surely someone should be offering me a test at some point. I feel deserted. Mentally I'm not happy, I feel sad a lot, I'm tired and have fatigue where I cannot do a lot. I'm due back at work next week and feel like I'm mentally not ready. I'm crying more now than I was a month ago, this isn't me, I don't do this, I'm literally crying at nothing. It's upsetting me writing this post. I just want it to all stop
