1st year surveillance scans

Hi Bud

I think that almost everyone feels like you do. It is awful and many have coined the phrase 'scanxiety'. It is about so much more than just a scan. You worry that the cancer awfulness will start again, you get scared to plan ahead. I start many sentences with "if the scare results are ok we can..... it puts your life on hold until you get the all clear. I even wonder if I ought to plant my over wintering seeds in case I don't get time to care for them. A blog I read once said that the blogger used to wonder every time he bought a pot of marmite, if this would be his last (a jar lasts a long time).

For me the euphoria of clear results lasts a couple of days, then I go into life as normal mode but as the next scan date looms the scanxiety rises again. I had my 2 year CT Thursday and I get my results on 22nd Oct and until then the worry rarely leaves me. 

No you are definitely not silly, or if you are then we are all as daft as brushes.

My thoughts are with you

Hi Nicky

Thankyou so much for your reply it means a lot felt I was going mad as people keep saying it will be fine and stop worrying easier said than done. 

Hopefully will be able to post good results fingers crossed for us both. 

Wishing you all the luck for your results 

All the very best with the scans everyone . The dis-ease has settled here too . 

Take care ,
