I think it makes sense to see a psychiatrist for anxiety if you are seeking medication. But in terms of talking things out and finding coping methods, I found patient support groups (such as this one) much more helpful.
Squamous cell carcinoma base of tongue. Lymph involvement unclear; staging placed at "2 or 3." Biopsy 4/18/2008. Treatment: IMRT every day for 7 weeks. Cisplaten once a week to sensitize cancer to radiation. Treatment ended 7/16/08. PET/CT shows no more cancer.
