pet scan feeling scared

Less than one minute read time.

I have hodgekins lymphoma stage 4 and i have had 4 cycles of chemo allready with injections to follow because oft low white cell count. I have been waiting for a date of a PET scan and pinning all my hopes on this. Today I got the appointment for this Friday and i can not stop shaking what are they going to find. I am a pessimist in life my husband is a glass overflowing person. I think ahhh will chemo carry on he thinks good news because the lumps I had in my neck have gone. But all I can think about is Friday

  • Hi Miltoa,

    Yes, it's normal being worried about the scan, you can now begin to call it 'scanxiety'! But it will 'just' show the doctors what's been going on and whether chemo has worked totally well, which of course we hope it has!

    Please do pop into one of the Hodgkin groups where you can also vent your worries and get support.

    Hugs xxx
