first have them turn off the music or play what you want at the volume you want. i have them play beatles music on a volume where i really have to focus on the music to hear it. it keeps my attention to the music and not screaming in my mind that i have cancer and need to lay still.

another note, i have sexual trauma in my history and when i discussed with the doctor about a male being present for my treatments she offered to give me anti anxiety medication. i would take the pill an hour before the treatment. i would still be awake and able to cooperate with the staff but i wouldn't be stressed out. i chose not to take meds and just not allow the male to be in the same room as me.

i'm sure if you ask the doctor can offer you the same anti anxiety meds that they were willing to give me.
