Anxiety is very treatable. The med that Clark found helped him with the simulation and radiation visits was Ativan. It took about 40 minutes to kick in but what a difference it made for him. Just before we left the house, he took 2 (1 was not enough for him) and by the time we got to the hospital, they had kicked in. Easy peasy! Also, he was able to enjoy a long nap after we arrived home.
Arm yourself with whatever works for you. Your healthcare team will support you, but you have to ask. You can get through this!
My best to you�
Anita
