Hi all. Sorry for the long intro, I am very new to this! My lovely aunt (56 years old, she is from Cyprus and currently lives there) was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last November(we were never told exactly what type etc, but it was advanced, stage 3, as it spread to some of her lymph nodes. Doctors in Cyprus are never informative, as if that will help anyone). She had chemotherapy (carboplatin and taxol) for 4 months ( the side effects were really bad for her) and told her that the tumour on her womb has shrunk. But, the cancer spread more on her lymph notes (just outside her intestines) so she is now taking tamoxifen to target the spread to the lymph nodes.
But she is experiencing sever effects, especially suicidal thoughts she can't control. She was not at her best as you can imagine with all she is going through at the moment (and other personal issues) but she was never suicidal.
Anyone else experienced anything similar and any advice on how to deal with it?
Many thanks in advance.
