anxiety medication
I had my 3rd TC June 11th. Apart from the usual range of side effects (I think I've had all, but not really badly).
I feel I have coped well, been upbeat for those around me, and managed on my own ...
I had an anxiety episode after the nurse in the chemo unit had attempted to cannulate my vein twice.I was nearly crawling up the wall,my heart jumping out of my chest so they gave me a chill pill.What I hated about the breast cancer journey was that I couldn't predict how I'd react.Sometimes I'd be so brave that I'd surprise myself and other times I'd turn into a blubbering mess over a minor thing.So I think it's quite normal with what happened to you Rob-you are not alone in the anxiety department! You need lots of love and support with a little counselling and drugs on the side to get you through.Big hug,Tonya xx
