@merpreb That's it exactly. I had some clavicular tumors that have shrunk but that doesn't necessarily mean they've gone away. You know it's somewhere between completely gone and no progress but you just want to know where. We did the work now what's the result? How did you get through scanxiety?

@ta52- You just go minute by minute if necessary. It's scary and curling up on/in your bed might be a good solution with a good book. We don't have to be superpowers who conqueror everything, tolerate everything, cope with everything. Sometimes we just have to let go, become hysterical (or not) and then we go from there. I have PTSD so I've used this many times. Did it work for me? Not a lot but it's what came to mind at the time. I might have been better off as a superpower, walking, or doing weights, conquering a mountain. I just didn't feel like it.
