I am an emotional wreck this evening. I am currently undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Have a hard time sleeping and have no appetite. I have been taking ativan prior to radiation therapy. Have9 more treatments to go. My daughter has given me an ultimatum - I either quit taking the ativan or lose her support. She has gone out of her way to get me home nursing care etc but is now refusing to support me in any way because I just don't feel that I can go through this without the aid of ativan.She is constantly telling me how I have failed as a mother and it is so obvious that she resents me. She tells me she is afraid of me because I look like a dead woman. This is all about more than I can handle. My heart isbroken and I feell like a worthless blob. I don;'t like to cry "poor me" but in all honesty that is how I feel right now. A home nurse has talked to my doctor who has prescribed antidepressants - over my daughers protests. Can someone give me some advise - I can't seem tocope. Inciddentally, I am 77 years old
