Having my first CT since surgery 6 months ago tomorrow. Wasn't anxious but it got me tonight! I can't sleep a feel like all those little issues i have will lit up on that scan tomorrow. Also bothered that i'll only receive the results in beginning of April, isn't that long?

    Scanxiety

    Dave,

     

    Sending good karma for your results. I know in the states they are required to give us records when we ask. I don't know what the Canadian rules are in this regard.

    I fully understand how you feel. My fiance's first follow-up is next week, and I'm starting to freak out...

    I'll keep fingers crossed for you, please let us know the results. Wishing you NED with all my heart!

    Dave, I know how it feels to have first CT, mine was three months ago, and I was terrified and stressed especially in last week but the moment i got the result every thing changed for the best, all happiness came directly to my heart and I laughed to any joke no matter how funny that was or wasn't :) I've heard that we will have scanxiety for the rest of our lives but the first one is the worst one. I wish you relaxing and not stressful scan day and more importantly wonderful result. Wishing you NED for all next years to come, Forough

    Good luck

    Hoping that all goes well on your scan.  I have my first 3 month follow up scans next Friday and the anxiety is starting to set in.
