Hi there lady,
I answered your question but wanted to clarify now that I have read your experiences. Thanks for posting them. I never had internal radiation as part of my treatments so we differ right there. My stance on second opinion however stands. There is no harm getting a second opinion ( not within these e medical group ), and it may help clarify your situation. You mention hi anxiety, that I did have, who wouldn’t? I did take a mild low dose anti anxiety medication throughout my treatment and it really helped me. True, these meds. Are not for everyone but I was on minimal dosage. The med focused me and dried up the tears and depression. I also want to say- PEOPLE SURPRISE. I was given up to two years when diagnosed and have been in remission now for five years. Soooo, do what you need to do to get better and put this xxx disease in the rear view and continue living your life. Always wishing you better days ahead.
