Tips to help with Scanxiety

I have my first post treatment colonoscopy on 12 June, not sure what I am dreading the actual colonoscopy or the prep !!! I will go out for a nice dinner to clelbrate getting past another milestone. I am also keeping myself super busy from now until then so I can't dwell on this appt . 

Having a cancer diagnosis, you are then signed up for years of follow up tests to make sure you are ok , just have to take one step at a time and I am so grateful to be here 

Definitely the prep for me.
I’m not having one. It was meant to be a yearly check that’s Aug 21 op

Ive had a pet scan Feb this year that’ll do for me. 
I am having a break 

A nice meal outs perfect and keeping busy

Youre right about having the diagnosis makes us feel lucky to be around.

Enjoy this mild weather 

• That is understanding Im hoping I can get my head round things first it's been a whirlwind.

Big hugs to you 

My 2 year CT scan is on Tuesday with a genetics thing on Friday.  The follow up appointment isn't for 6 weeks though so that will be the stressful time!  A big glass of red after both, I think.

Have managed to avoid further colonoscopies since I've kept the stoma.  Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing tbh.

Two years  that’s flown by  

I am two years Aug 4th for the LAR then March 7th this year Lobectomy so I will be having one scan for the two cancers  starting September   
Will definitely get a large bottle of wine with a bar of galaxy  my favourite chocolate goes so well with wine 

I’ve not been called back for colonoscopy yet it’s nearly two years. I’m not having it even if offered 

No more pulling around or preps.xxxx 

Yes Ann,Chocolate and wine.the perfect coupling

Ann, I can imagine that you're thoroughly sick of all the prodding, poking and faffing about! Good that they're doing checks for both cancers at the same time though. A bit of joined up thinking there.  I hope that you're starting to feel a bit better and you have some nice things planned for the summer ( saw you were in St Ives last week which sounded lovely).

Wine and chocolate - bliss xx

Yes but would that be healthy?

Healthy Dark chocolate or Milk Tray ?

Definitely the best coupling x

Seems to me that wine and chocolate is the go to favourite 

Hi Blue 

I insisted on one scan as that’s the best way to go so it’ll be with contrast because that’s what the bowel needs the lung don’t apparently which surprised me

St Ives was lovely really amazing and restorative 

Im hoping for Tortworth Court over night soon then Spain July 4th. 

Im forgetting anything to do with hospitals until September. Breathing is better the cough is horrendous.

I am convincing self it’s back. 
Im that little mole popping my head up hoping the mallet misses me 

Whack a mole !

Well mines due Monday and we usually go for food after but as its 8am think it will be breakfast.

I'm staying positive.
