Scanxiety: How did you get through scanxiety?

@merpreb Merry - Not sure if it makes a difference but my scan is at Mayo and the radiologist and doctor read the scan the same day. My scan is at 10:00 and my doctor's consult is at 1:15 the same day. Mayo can be a machine at times but in a good way. You have you blood work results, for example, in less than a half hour.
The scanxiety stems from the fact that this is the first one after my first round of treatment. It's not the test but what the test will show (or not show) that's nerve wracking.

@ta52- Ah, ha! It is very important for sure, and special. I remember feeling this way after my last round of chemo too. My first question was, did it work?
