I’m not going to let this bum me out! I want you to have the same energy can you do this??? Let me hear ya girl!!!

Hello Trina, thoughts are with you, stay positive! 🙏

Pre-scan anxiety is completely understandable, and many people in this community experience similar feelings before important medical appointments. Try some gentle breathing exercises, listen to calming music, or do light stretching to help ease both the anxiety and help your body relax enough for some rest before your scan.
