Kate, I'm glad to learn your husband is wonderful and supportive to you during this lower-mood episode of your life. I have a grown-up daughter myself (she is 21 and will hopefully graduate from uni next year) and feel fortunate to see her too have a good relationship with her boyfriend (he is 26 and I like the guy).
And I'm even gladder to see you are fighting 'tooth & nail' with all weapons you have at your disposal including acquiring more knowledge about that insidious foe by the name of 'cortisol'. I also past a depressive episode during which I was 'absolutely convinced' I had something 'bad' when I began to feel some (mild) prostatic disorder symptoms (my grandfather [father's father] having died from prostatic carcinoma, though at an advanced age), and after making all manner of exams to my kidneys, bladder & of course my prostate I found out no trace of a tumor (which I would previously 'swear' I had), not even any reason for surgery at least for the time being...
So my advice is: remember that what appears to be oftentimes is not and things turn out frequently of a benign character, so make absolutely all the most modern exams available (and fortunately you are in a place where you can have the best) AND don't lose heart at all.
The best of luck for you, my dear.
Do take care,
Iago
