I have a scan tomorrow afternoon. I have been having some pressure and pain under my left rib area. It is not terribly painful just have a few spots that hurt. Oncologist wants to check it out. I have been sick off and on since December, so we are going to scan early. We had planned to do a scan in March. Nervous about reoccurrence again or surgery again. I know....don't count my chickens before they hatch. Scan anxiety on the rise! Ambien tonight to stop the racing "what if's".
Swing some chickens please/prayers welcomed!
