Hi @Rewindtake2, how scary for you. Scan anxiety is definitely a thing, especially waiting for results. Deep breaths, keep busy if you are well enough to do so. Gentle walks. The trick with that anxiety is to shut down all that talk that goes on in our heads. It's so unhelpful and usually taps into the negative. Try staying in the present moment. Have you ever done knitting or some other creative thing. It helps the brain focus on other things. Best wishes to you.
