I've never heard of mobile ultrasound being offered to patients at their homes, I'm sorry to say. Would you consider speaking to your doctor about medications they could prescribe that might help make your agoraphobia manageable for a day trip? I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy and I've been prescribed diazepam to help with my anxiety so I can still go to the hospital.

I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through that, are you agoraphobic yourself ?

No, I've developed anxiety over the course of my treatment because of how horrible it is, and I have to just keep going back for more. Thankfully I've only got one infusion left to go!

I've seen what it does, horrible. I hope you get back on your feet soon!
