Heading for Rochester on Thursday for a PET/MRI. Six years ago after my Whipple, I had a lot of scanxiety going back for the first scan. Things got better as each successive scan showed no cancer. Now, with the recurrence of my pancreatic cancer, I again have a lot of scanxiety. I just want to know what's happening. If the tumors are not growing, there will be no treatment - just monitoring with future scans. If the tumors are growing, I will need chemo - Irinotecan & 5-FU - along with dialysis.

@marvinjsturing, I can imagine the scanxiety has returned. I will be thinking of you all the way and will be interested in the outcome, hoping for the best.

Have you got some pleasant things planned between now and Thursday to help distract you? Will you be driving or flying to Rochester?
