Let the Scanxiety begin

Well, next week is the annual scan and Onc visit. I feel fine but always in the back of my mind is.... Is this the time something will show up? I try not to let it get to me, it is what it is,but the level of anxiety I am beginning to experience with the the impending tests makes my nuts. 2 years ago last week I had my last chemo treatment, and I have been NED ever since. Thanks for letting me vent a bit, my family just dismisses how I feel, and of course they cannot understand, but you all can!

    hello i am praying
    hello, i know exactly what you are talking about. the anxiety alone can make you sick. i am going to be praying that you get good results. it is funny how the family does not seem to get it. my family makes me feel like they think i have a case of the flu and then it will get better and go away. hang in there, barb

    Hi Kathy...good thoughts for your test! I have mine coming up this month too. The first in a year since I was diagnosed. We'll both have the results we wanna hear!

    Hoping and Praying
    Hoping and praying that all your scans will come out normal and continue to remain NED. It's scary getting those done and about a month before my stomach starts getting sick. Know how you are feelng. Things will be fine.

    To Kathy and Gail and all
    It's amazing how even though I don't know you, part of my heart is right there with you. I want to say "good luck" or "best wishes" but it is so much more than that. I suspect that most of you on the board know what I mean :)

    Love,
    Biz
