Hi Maddi, Thank you for your welcome post.. no one really seems to understand how debilitating claustrophobia is.I have at this time been unable to find a place with the open faced mask. I haven’t slept properly for almost 2 weeks now waiting for appointment and the terror is so real I can’t breath sometimes. No one seems to understand how terrified I am and as much as treatment is advanced most centres haven’t even heard of an open faced mask!,, How is this possible ! These masks are available.

Thank you for your reply . It’s great to get some reassurance about the mask. The fitting will be the worst part so have to find a way through that. So sorry your cancer is back. Good luck 🤗

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with throat cancer and am terrified beyond words at having to have a mask on during treatment . Does anyone have recommendations for helping with this anxiety. I’m on the Gold Coast and looking for something that can help. I’m at the point where I’m just shaking from head to toe and not sleeping. Any help would be greatly appreciated
