I did the same thing on the radiation table. Especially when they didn’t have music on.

I do the same. Since I was a child, I count to calm down. I had radiation as well and did the same. I have known anyone else that counts.

I did radiation after a lumpectomy in 2005. (It came back in 2012) it was surreal right? They put you on a slab in the perfect position, close a concrete door and leave you to be still. I was singing in my head and terrified that I would sneeze. Ahhhh the olden days…

I was in my 20s when I started to count to calm myself. Also I HATE to wait, but if I count it’s much better.

Same! I used to picture being on the beach, watching the waves. But I would count also.

I love that you say HAD breast ca. You ARE a survivor. Counting can be very effective. Nothing works every time, but it's good to have tools. I have my own toolkit for dealing with my depression and anxiety. Use what works until it doesn't. 🥰

About 20 years ago, I learned TM. Five years later I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to go through 40 rounds of radiation. The mantra saved me. Plus, a little Led Zeppelin played quietly by the radiologists.

Well, you’ve learned the good technique. Maybe it doesn’t always work, but it works. For me, I chew gum and I walk
