Oscar: Buzz has PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - Korea/Vietnam); he states that the MASK was the most difficult part of his treatment. His radiation oncologist prescribed 10 mg Lorazapam (sp?); Buzz would take one EVERY DAY 30 min. prior to his tx; He says it helped him bear the claustrophobia a little better. You may ask your doctor if he thinks it would help.
Jenna: We will certainly be thinking of you, too, as you begin your treatments. Let us know if there are specific questions that you have. There are many here who are willing to help you get through this!
