Scanxiety - does it ever REALLY go away?
Does Scanxiety ever really disappear? I think not. It is 4 years in Nov since my ILC tumours were found, by accident, by my GP - as the rural BreastScreen Bus screens totally missed it ..... TWIC...

Hi @arpie
Wishing you the best for today.
I got my referral for my mammogram and ultrasound the other day while at dr. Even the thought of that triggered me. I don't need to go yet. Due January.
I went early for my mammogram and ultrasound posttreatment. I was surprised at my reaction for that first one. I wept on the ultrasound table like I have not done. I knew my tears were from the trauma of it all but I couldn't stop. It was so terrifying even though I know there would be no cancer there. How could there after all that treatment I had received.
The poor lady who did my ultrasound didn't know what to do. She was knew at the place I had been going for the last 18 years. She asked me if I knew how to check my breasts and that was it. I thought it was a stupid question and irrelevant at this time when I was crying my eyes out.
When i go for the next one i am going to ask if my husband can come in with me instead of the waiting room. I know he can't come in for the mammogram but hopefully he can for the ultrasound.
Let us know how you go. Sending you a hug x
