Ash,

What your mom is experiencing is not so unusual. Many here including my husband at some point during treatments needed some type of antianxiety medications. It is probably more likely psychological although I am no doctor. I would say that you should trust your doctor on this one.

It is not unusual though and I just wanted to let you know that.

Best to you and your mom,
Cindy
