Scan anxiety is incredibly common in the cancer community, and many people find that while it may not completely disappear, it often becomes more manageable with time as confidence in recovery grows. The anticipation can be the hardest part, and it's completely understandable to feel on edge before these important check-ups even years later.

If you can believe it after five years since my resection still brain fog or Alzheimer’s, needless to say, I drove to the wrong town with six minutes of spare when my original destination was an hour and 15 minutes still away so now I have to wait for March 23 to get my blood work done cancer and chemo. Both suck.
