Kellijojo!!

You are in luck! Your state actually has a medical marijuana law! Yeehaw! Get your Dr to give you a script (demand one if they have issues with it), go buy a vaporizor and hit that ganj right before you have to go in for rads. You'll see your anxiety and fear turn into giggles and the need for Cheetos.

To share a quick story with you. Before cancer I never did drugs other then alcohol (and not that until after I was 21), ever. When I had my first appt with my ENT my mom had went with me and asked him if I could get MJ and I shot that down to my preconcieved notions on that drug.

When going to radiation the gentleman that went in right after me would be there waiting and he was a wreck. He wasn't dealing with the mask well at all (I had no issues with it) but he was so bad he would cry and his wife was there comforting him. It was sad as he was very distraught.

After the my third week I noticed he was there waiting with his wife, laughing and eating snacks and it perplexed me...so I started a conversation. He was from WA state (right across the river from where we were getting rads) and his Dr had given him a script for MJ. He said that he felt fine was in a great mood and was actually hungry. Myself, I wasn't fairing so well after my second round of chemo and really wished my state had medical MJ as I would've loved some Cheetos at that point.

Anyway just my 2cents worth...or dime bag lol

Good luck to you, keep your chin up
