Her and I have an excellent relationship, and I trust her fully. With all that&#8217;s been going on over the past few years and especially this past year, we talked mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two months of what can be best described as &#8216;<strong><em>no contact<\/em><\/strong>&#8216; with neither <strong><em>urology<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>oncology<\/em><\/strong> (September and October) she was concerned about any anxieties I may be suffering. I was finally able to see them last month. Then began hormonal therapy for the cancer that survived 2023&#8217;s radiation therapy after months of waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/riCP9x31Kuk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=es-MX&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Doechii: Anxiety<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all knew the disease was present because of the various tests that were ran. But everything stopped during those two months. To say I was anxiety ridden is putting it lightly. Words of anger, frustration and simply pissed off were more fitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a heartfelt conversation, my primary and I agreed for me to start taking <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/escitalopram.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Escitalopram<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, which is used to treat anxieties in adults.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why am I putting this out here? Because I refuse to hide the truth to anyone suffering, grieving or facing the same issues as I am. Handling your mental health properly, is as important as the treatment itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wishing all of you a <strong><em>Very Merry Christmas<\/em><\/strong>!

Through a growing body of online essays and articles, he explores themes of love, healing, creativity, and perseverance\u2014often at moments when life demands clarity, honesty, and courage. Rick publishes reflective, narrative-driven pieces shaped by both personal experience and cultural observation. His work includes thoughtful commentary on relationships, personal growth, health, and identity, as well as essays documenting his ongoing cancer journey with transparency and purpose. These articles are not written for spectacle, but to offer grounded insight and connection for readers navigating their own challenges. Influenced by Detroit\u2019s art, culture, and community, Rick\u2019s writing carries a strong sense of place while remaining universally relatable. His voice is direct, reflective, and measured\u2014balancing vulnerability with perspective and intention. Across his work, Rick consistently returns to one core belief: that meaningful, honest storytelling has the power to remind people of their value, foster connection, and encourage forward movement, even in difficult seasons\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/rickollie.com\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rickollie.com\\\/es\\\/author\\\/rickollie\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"My Cancer Fight: Hormonal Therapy and Mental Health - Rick Ollie","description":"... everything stopped during those two months.

Through a growing body of online essays and articles, he explores themes of love, healing, creativity, and perseverance\u2014often at moments when life demands clarity, honesty, and courage. Rick publishes reflective, narrative-driven pieces shaped by both personal experience and cultural observation. His work includes thoughtful commentary on relationships, personal growth, health, and identity, as well as essays documenting his ongoing cancer journey with transparency and purpose. These articles are not written for spectacle, but to offer grounded insight and connection for readers navigating their own challenges. Influenced by Detroit\u2019s art, culture, and community, Rick\u2019s writing carries a strong sense of place while remaining universally relatable. His voice is direct, reflective, and measured\u2014balancing vulnerability with perspective and intention. Across his work, Rick consistently returns to one core belief: that meaningful, honest storytelling has the power to remind people of their value, foster connection, and encourage forward movement, even in difficult seasons","sameAs":["http:\/\/rickollie.com"],"url":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/author\/rickollie\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rickollie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4536.jpeg?fit=2352%2C1764&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6xWjK-374","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91886495"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11970"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12018,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11970\/revisions\/12018"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
