Radiation, MRIs and anxiety

Hi there-

Friday we do another brain MRI for my dad before he begins radiation treatments. We got a clear scan in November, and we are praying for another. Any scan of any kind gives me so much anxiety! I pray it comes back with no spread to his brain.

Good luck to you all , I hope it goes well. Radiation treatments are really draining and make breathing difficult.

Best wishes,

RW

Sending best hopes for a clean scan, and that your father tolerates the radiation treatments as well as possible.
