Hello, I'm Lea! Born in England, living in Canada. 

Last summer I had surgery for stage III breast cancer, then chemo and radiation. Those treatments ended in February of this year. For a brief time after treatment ended, I was doing okay mentally. But gradually a terrible anxiety and depression crept in, and last week my psychiatrist diagnosed me with PTSD. 

I'm slightly relieved at the diagnosis... at least I know these feelings are "something". And I was glad to find this forum. It's informative and feels safe and supportive. I'm looking forward to reading posts and participating in the community. 
Thank you for having me.
