Scanxiety
Hi all, just searching for some positive vibes as I am having my 1st scans this Thursday. My surgery in July was a success with clear margins. Feeling so anxious, just trying to keep busy.

I had to have a bone scan repeated a couple of weeks ago @tanyal It nearly did my head in. Turns out that when I was telling the tech that she was shooting the contrast (or whatever they call the stuff for bone scans) into me she had missed the vein, she'd missed the vein and not enough of it got into circulation for them to get a proper scan. What would I know?
Mammograms are also vulnerable to all sorts of glitches, particularly if you have some surgical scar tissue or got dense boobs or tiny boobs or boobs like sandwich bags with half a cup of wet sand in them.... You get the idea.
Hope is all we have sometimes--operator error does happen and though maddening it's preferable to the alternative. Good luck. Marg xx
