Scanxiety, feeling like a fraud but happy to be here

It is a year since I completed my palliative chemotherapy which was started after the surgeons decided that my cancer was too far advanced to operate. The spread that stymied my op has disappeared and they say it takes the eye of faith to see the original tumour. So I feel like a fraud here in the incurables.

You have helped to save my sanity over the last 18 months. Thank you all for your support, your kind words, your irreverence and your fantastic humour.

You may spot that I am feeling a little soupy. My 3 monthly scan is tomorrow so I know that I am suffering from scanxiety. My review appointment is on the 9th, but I will be amazed if the results are reported by then. I am hopeful about remaining a stable mable though.

Thanks to all the incorrigibles for your fantastic support.
