Hi AnnMarie2007,

My husband was pacing a lot too prior to starting his therapy. I felt so helpless not being able to help him. I called his oncologist and he prescribed valium and it helped him dramatically. Hopefully they can find something that will help you get through this. He said he felt more relaxed immediately, without feeling all drugged up.
We had expected the worst going through therapy and, for him, it wasn't as bad as expected. It is amazing how people respond differently to treatments.
