My husband has just done first week of radiotherapy for throat cancer .The anxiety over the mask is consuming him. He is on 2mg of lorazepam before each session. He is very worried that this level of anxiety over 6 weeks will change his personality and lead to long term PTSD. Any advice or suggestions would really help us.
