I have my first scan after 6 cycles of Folfox, tomorrow. For the past few days I've had lots of areas of pain. Nothing bad but it's got me worried.  Is it just scanxiety? Does anyone else get this? I see my oncologist a week on Wednesday. It's going to be a long 10 days!

  • I didn't have this but I definitely had other symptoms of scanxiety. 

    If the pains are transient, assume they are scanxiety related and wait to tell your doctor when you see him. If something get bothersome or becomes consistent, I'd give his office a call. 

  • These pains are in the same place Tired face liver and where my original tumour was removed. See consultant next Wednesday, so will talk about it then.
