Thanks @colleenyoung I’m feeling some better today as I was able to speak with a counselor last night/this morning. I appreciate your care and concern.

So good to hear from you, @kaposi! You know we were all holding our breath. 🙂

I'm glad that you were able to speak with a counselor. Real time talking with someone means a lot, especially in the moment. Besides dealing with the diagnoses of Kaposi's sarcoma and HIV, and just finishing 20 rounds of chemo treatment, waiting for a 6-month check-up is stressful. I'm also tagging fellow member @leroy23, who lives with Kaposi's sarcoma and HIV. I hope you can connect.

Have you heard of the term "Scanxiety"? Many cancer patients experience it. It's a pretty good way to sum up those few days/hours before going for a 6-month checkup to see how your body responded to treatment. I get that.
