Hi Everyone
Physically feeling better than I have for a very long time. Mentally it is a different story. I go to see the Oncologist on 8th October for the results of the scan. I am so scared that they may just stop treatment. Just can't rid myself of these thoughts.
The scan itself was traumatic, only twice have radiographers cannulated me and both times they had to have several attempts, have blown veins and this time the contrast dye leaked into tissue. Nurses and phlebotomists never have an issue. What can I do in the future if anything?
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
I have been told that "scansiety" is quite normal from a results point of view. I am trying to be positive but failing miserably.
Sorry to be so needy again.
JD
