Not doing great anxiety levels of the scale.

MRI scan on Friday waiting for appointment for Pet scan, terrified it's worse than I'm hoping for 

Hi Jay276 

I’ve noticed you joined the cervical group and thought you might want to also post there to connect with others who are going through similar feelings and fears? I’m just concerned that your post may be get lost in a general chit chat thread?

I was advised to think of my energy levels like a battery. If it feels low, I’ll rest, if it feels okay, I’ll work/go for a walk/make the dinner - you know, the ‘normal’ things

Hi Jay

The waiting can be the worst part. I’ve learnt to stop trying to predict any outcomes as I’ve always been wrong. You could try counting down the days to each appointment. 
Try and do some things you enjoy and are able to do to distract you.

So sorry to hear that! You need to offload if possible and find someone to talk to. Try not to think too negatively (not that that’s something I do, worry about everything). If possible try to write a letter or story in your head so you concentrate on that instead of worrying. Anything like that it works for me or try just going through words of a song, maybe rewrite it to make it you own! Hope this helps sending positivity to you. Carole

Hi FloC, yes I agree. I'm just tired a lot, but that's untreated sleep apnea. been diagnosed in Germany 14 years ago and couldn't use the mask (phobia and ripped it off in the sleeping lab). nowadays they doing smaller ones, only covering the nose. I thought I'd give it a go... I'm on the waiting list for 3 years now... I might beat cancer and instead perish in my sleep  sorry that's my sense of humour
