PET scans are an important tool that doctors use to see how well treatment has worked, and it's completely natural to feel anxious before getting results after completing such an intensive treatment journey. The feelings of stress and worry before scans are shared by many people in the cancer community, and reaching out here shows strength even when support feels limited. Whatever the results show, the medical team will have a clear path forward, and this community understands the challenges of navigating cancer treatment and the hope for getting back to normal life.

I completely agree that scanxiety is so real and shared by all of us. R chop is wicked stuff but it works. I’m three months out of chemo/remission …..keep moving forward everyday and you will get through this!
