Jayne, I know the mask can be hard for some people so I'm very glad to hear you've gotten acquainted with it and are doing just fine. It sounds like you are a very positive person and that will be a wonderful asset to have. Don't be afraid to ask for meds for the anxiety if they become too overwhelming. You need to take advantage of everything available to you to get through this hard journey with the most ease and comfort possible. Please know that I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Take care and keep that strong attitude going!!! You've got lots of backup here.
