Hi, Barbara
I think that the meditation and yoga are going to help you once the therapy actually begins. You will basically be doing corpse (always hated that name) pose during rads; and you have the breathing and concentration skills under your belt, whether you really believe it or not at this point. My husband is a scientist, and he found the mask comforting because it kept him safely where he was supposed to be for therapy. Not very many people feel like this, but I think that maybe knowing that someone that understands radiation does might be useful.

You will make through with with your meditation skills, fabulous family, and your little happy pills and/or happy vapors.
