Hi @Teabaglady, I hear you. I have major scan anxiety. The thing is you just won't know until that scan. I had a lumpectomy in 2020, chemo, radium and tamoxifen which drove md crazy too. I switched to Letrozole and I am still on it.
In January this year I had a fracture at T9 of my spine on s funny little node there. My oncologist has been doing mri's every 3 months since then. Last week I had a mri in preparation for my appointment with her on Monday.
My oncologist phoned me the next day and said something wasn't right, she wasn't sure but said it would be safer to have a PET scan and contrast CT. I did that yesterday and will get the results on Monday. When the oncologist phoned me I freaked our, major anxiety attack.
It is very hard not to worry I gave myself 1 day of freaking out (Tuesday) but since then I think I have done ok. I just keep busy. Of course it sits in the background of my mind but I can't do anything or change anything until I get those results on Monday. Keep busy, do what you like and try to stay in the present moment. Best wishes for your results.
