First scan since no treatment tomorrow and my head has gone
Yuck, good luck!!!
So are they doing regular scans? Once we decided on no more treatment, my team said there is no need for scans unless I have symptoms that are a problem, or need to make some plans and need an updated idea of where I am. Or if I want to try some treatment again. So far no scans, since June (guess I wouldn't have one until September anyway, 3 months).

yes. Not my fecision to stop treatment just kidneys couldnt cope
Hi Divine Ms MWe all have to find a way of coping with our lot when chemo doesnt work and mine was to enjoy life with friends and family. Quality over quantity. That decision was made in Feb and morphine keeps me able enough to do all the things we want to do. I have my 1st oncology appt on Monday and am going to ask for a scan. I figure it will be either things are static so we can continue at the same pace or if things are progressing, we will cram more in.
Either way it has stopped me feeling anxious about any tests now. I so remember the scanxiety I used to suffer: no more.
I hope you can find a way to cope and wish you the very best whatever the outcome, do keep us posted. Sending hugs, we all need them x
Thanks for the inspiration...and the hug, both very timely. I’ll find out what’s what Tuesday and will be thinking of you Monday and hoping all is at a standstill

I had the results of my first post treatment scan on Friday, i really wound myself up into a state, especially as the results were delayed by a week. Scanxiety is horrid. (I am stable post treatment, another scan in 3 months)
Good luck with yours x
