DIBH anxiety post treatment
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone else who underwent DIBH during RT gets anxiety when asked to hold their breathe for scans/examinations? Or if it's just me...

@JoeyLiz i did the dibh. Nearly 5years ago now Practiced a lot before rads started. The staff were really helpful.
The snorkel i used was set for the amount of breath i had to hold. Once that got set. At the right level. I only had to overcome how long i had to hold for.
Music was good the whole session doesn’t take that long as a rule
i reckon most time was spent setting up and lining up for the beams to hit the right spot
i figured I’d rather not have my heart zapped.

The whole thing i sort of made a game out of it.
If you can’t do it like the others have said there is ways around it.
It was vital that i got it right at the Time due to margins on my sternum after tests came back.
You will know when you do your set up and practice run if you can cope
