@Tamlisa Hi Tammy, I know my husband definitely did and still does go through this. He actually through up before his last check-up he went to from nerves. And now he's really with struggling with anxiety because he's worried it will come back. I hope your scan went well!

@lori49 Hi Lori, my scan was great, no cancer. I always get nervous until I get the results. Good luck to your husband.

Oof yes, I totally understand this feeling. I'm in remission now but sometimes I still have nightmares that I'm waiting for results! I wonder if going through cancer can give you PTSD or something similar? I remember the the rollercoaster of emotions I used to go through and it makes me totally sick to my stomach.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Does anyone else get anxious before they have there follow up Cat scan and before you get your results? Not that I think the cancer is back, but because I know what come with getting rid of it. I hated chemo and didn’t want to do it again but I will if needed.
