Does anyone else become scared and anxious when it is time for tests to make sure the cancer hasn't come back??? I find myself freaking out a week or two before hand, until i get the results...like i am waiting for the ax to drop again
Hi mzdeg68. Welcome to WhatNext, and thank you for sharing your story. Your are not alone when it comes to "scanxiety." In fact, pretty recently there was a discussion about this. Here is the link, I thought it might help: https://www.whatnext.com/questions/does-anyone-experience-scanxiety
Thank you!
Celebration (Finished treatment): Every day, I celebrate being one more day cancer free... i am now 3 1/2 years cancer free to date
Side Effects (Other): nausea, vomitting, trouble swallowing/eating, burnt skin, fatigue, dry mouth, just overall icky
Radiation (External radiation ): The radiation, though not as sever as it could have been, did give major side effects... i lost hair, ability to swallow well, burnt my skin, damaged my salivary glands but the shots that i had to take to "save" my salivary glands made me deathly sick
Oh No (Diagnosed): My doctor informed me that the biopsy he had taken was potiive for cancer... i dropped to the floor and looked up at God above...
