I know exactly what you are going through. I recently went through the same thing with the man I love. He was fine and so sure he was going to beat the cancer until someone told him it was impossible. His medical tests showed that he was still doing well and he thought it was Chemo side effects but I knew right from the start that it was because his doctors and nurses were all treating him like someone who was going to die not like someone who could live even though he was making such remarkable progress. The anxiety that came on him was debilitating and got out of control fast. The doctors refused to see that as the problem and allowed him to become addicted to Vicodin and when I would say something about it I was told he has lung cancer what difference does it make if he is addicted to it. The thing they never told us was that what he was taking to try to treat the anxiety on his own was causing the anxiety to get worse. In the end they tried to catch up and started mixing any thing they could think of to ease the anxiety. It was too late by then. He had checked himself into the hospital for help and they ended up killing him. I have other posts on this message board please read them. I have learned so much that if I had only known 2 months ago I have no doubt he would still be alive and I would not be haunted by the memory of his death and death that was not only uncalled for but not a easy time for him like you would think it could be with being over medicated. He wanted to fight to live and they took that option away from him. It was not only unfair but also cruel!! Please read Know Your Rights as a Cancer patient, it is time for a change and Warning be aware of the rule of double effect. I am trying to do as much as I can to see that what happened to him does not happen to anyone else. Please seek counseling and if the doctor she has doesn't treat her for anxiety change doctors. Get on the Internet and research every thing, alternate treatments, different cancer treatment centers and the side effects and warnings of ALL medication she is given. I hope this helps you. I will work as hard as I can I owe that to him and anyone who needs help. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have a lot of information. You can email me at and if there is anything I have that you need as far as information goes I will share it with you. Lillian
