Can cancer cause depression?

I think certainly cancer could cause depression as you have a lot of things to deal with. You have to face your own mortality, the possibility of leaving your children before you had hoped to, not seeing the things you want to achieve in life and just in my case, you feel like your body has failed you somehow. But I wasn't depressed. I felt challenged by the cancer and so I think you have to come up with a game plan on how you are going to fight the cancer and that can really determine your outlook.
