Can't find BC support groups, but am told I could try PTSD group

Options

My issues are depression, anxiety, memory loss and cognitive issues (somewhat brought on by stress) and PTSD came up as a possibility. The family history has or had a good share of cancers so my BC came as no surprise. In July, it will be 3 years since diagnosis and I thought that things would be peachy, but they aren't. Several counseling sessions later and now the subject of PTSD comes up. It also doesn't help that (once I had the last chemo), my boss says something like this, "So, you're cured now?" (IE: everything is great). Apparently, my problems began then. I guess they thought that chemo brain would go poof. Whatever it's called, it's still here and I still have those "moments" that are not so desirable, and more frequently. I'm just wondering if a PTSD group might just be the thing to try now.
