Hi @Rewindtake2 ( love the name !)
Yes “ scanxiety” is real.
Keeping busy is easier said than done but I am semi retired and find when I do some work ( it’s quite sporadic) it really helps me not “ dwell” on my situation.
If you have a breast care nurse give them a call , if not calling the helpline here is good advice.
I saw a psychologist for a couple of sessions when first diagnosed which was helpful - it was during Covid so there was a bit of a wait not sure what the story is now.
Feel free to post on here to vent , ask questions etc, we all “ get it” on a way someone who has never faces this diagnosis never really can .
