I have a scan coming up. So naturally I have anxiety. Or as many cancer survivors call it... scanxiety.
It's that special little gift where your brain suddenly becomes a full-time detective, fortune teller, and worst-case-scenario writer all at the same time. 😆
One minute you're enjoying your coffee and planning your week. The next you're wondering if every ache, pain, sneeze, and random twitch means something.
The funny thing is, scanxiety can show up even after years of good news.
👉🏻Your calendar says, "Routine appointment."
🤓Your brain says, "Let's revisit every medical event since the dawn of your time."
The good news? I've learned not to believe everything my brain tells me.
For now, I'll focus on what I know, not what I imagine. And maybe have another cup of coffee (couldn't hurt right?) ☕💜
To my fellow survivors: if you're feeling scanxiety, you're not alone.
