Hello Colleen thank you for asking about me. My scans in late February 2020 were clean. No Mets which of course was great news. I did not do so well in terms of the “scan anxiety” at all. I had the chest CT first and I almost had a panic attack. I dreaded the scan even though it was a short scan. I see a psychiatrist and she prescribed Lorazepam to take. I took the drug prior to the MRI, abd/ pelvis which was a week later. My experience was better, not great but tolerable. At present I am doing well psychologically. Next scans due late May. The virus of course is awful but I am managing. I met a man and I have been dating him. I haven’t told about my RCC, nephrectomy, don’t see a need to. This May will mark my one year anniversary. I am far better than I was a year ago but I take things one day at a time and I am happy each day that I am cancer free and virus free. A new perspective is in place and I am learning more tolerance and patience. Best wishes to all!
