What emotional hurdles are you facing?
We often talk about scans, treatments, and side effects, but we know the emotional weight can be just as heavy.
Whether it’s 'scanxiety,' feeling misunderstood by friends, or just a heavy cloud you can't quite shake—what emotional hurdle is on your mind this week?
frequently have scanxiety approximately 2 weeks before my scan and while waiting for my results.... Heavy cloud starts about a month before my scans... try to stay in the moment by taking a walk or short hike... it helps ..... liken to the "sword of Damocles" that sort of colors any planning.
- Thanks for sharing your experience. You definitely are not alone in dealing with scanxiety. That looming feeling is a lot to bear mentally. It's good to hear you're finding walks and short hikes helpful. I hope you can continue to find ways to get through and please know you can lean on our community for support.
