[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find someone (spouse? child? friend?) to come with you to see the doctor. They will be a good sounding board and can give you feedback so you aren't second-guessing yourself and your feelings. I would also get recommendations and consider switching doctors or at least getting a consultation on whether your current treatment plan is the best way to go or if there are good alternatives. I can understand being scared and on the verge of tears frequently. Have you tried meditation, journaling, prayer, etc.?[/quote] These are good suggestions. A faith based community can also be a source of support. OP, is your condition one that may have ongoing studies, say at NIH or Hopkins or local teaching universities? Might be worth exploring to get the most cutting edge treatment.[/quote]
