Combination of Radiation & Chemo

Polyana

Hi all,

I did start in the thred of Jan rads. U know what I failed in my experience with the simulation session. I am clusterphobic and have issues of phobia which is sever anxiety issues. So I failed in the simulation session when they wanted to close the BIG metalic door I screamed and jumped off the table. We did a 2 days trial and it failed. My Dr said they need to give me anxiety medications. I am really worried, I am thinking of changing hospitals to a place less likely of such phobia and anxiety.

I am concerned that my Dr. said they need to give me both chemo and rad to increase my chances of cure. I want to cure, I gone this far to succeed not to fail after all I have been thro..I am afraid, afraid from the combination, don't want to reduce my chances, but increase them, but have BIG fears what shall I do.

Do u know the length a person could stay after surgery before starting treatment. My IDC is found as extra capsular that is why I need the rad 26 session...any tips
