No, I haven't heard of this study either. I too am a breast cancer survivor and very content with my life.
I have seen some reports on chemo brain, however.

Results of a large study have been published recently (see reference below). Authors found that breast cancer survivors have higher suicide rate compared to disease-free women. They did not compare that to suicide rates in people with other forms of cancer or other serious diseases. Overall suicide rate in breast cancer survivors was still very low: 836 patients committed suicide out of 723,810 followed in the study.
