"I fought with severe depression and anxiety for more than a year"
User Smithcaj65 on Reddit had this to say: “Kidney cancer survivor here. I was diagnosed at 35 after peeing blood. Even though I was lucky and the cancer had not spread I fought with severe depression and anxiety for more then a year afterwards. Finally after seeking professional help and getting on some meds I've leveled out. I still have reoccurring nightmares of peeing blood but it's been 5 years and I'm doing great. The big message here is even if you have been ‘cured’ there can still be a really severe mental toll. If you are reading this and that's you seek help. Don't think that you have to deal with this on your own.”
