DIBH anxiety post treatment

I was worried before treatment when the rad onc told me that I had to do it. I remember practicing before I started treatment & I thought there was no way i would be able to hold my breath for that long. I did however, surprise myself during treatment. I remembered the cover of a book that was given to me by my BC nurse. It was a picture of a beautiful landscape. So peaceful & tranquil. I focused on remembering that picture & shut my eyes. I got through every session apart from the very last one, when they had to stop the machine as I took a breath. They all commented on how good i was & that there was only one time that it didn't work...i guess i cant be perfect all the time & it also proved that the rad machine does stop as soon as it detects that you have taken a breath!! xx
