3 month scan next week and seriously stressed

Postby Kiwi Debz » Fri Aug 14, 2015 1:20 pm

Hi all

I have not posted for ages. I had four weeks vacation here in MI, US and went into complete denial! Had the best vacation I have had forever. Rest, relaxation, the beach. It was so good and I felt the best I have felt in the past 18 months.

Got the results of the nose excision and benign so good too.

I have my 3 month scans, blood work and oncologist next week at CCF. I was fine until I woke up this morning and have the most severe case of anxiety I have ever had. My tummy is in absolute knots and I just feel horribly sick.

I know right, ridiculous, I can't change what will be .... I have this fear of the one day conversation of "there is nothing more we can do". No idea why it is so bad and I am thinking this way.

Sorry, just a vent.

As I said on my fb post .... Wine I need more wine!

Deb, Sounds like you're coming down from your wonderful "high" from vacation & benign nasal growth...all good! Now back to the hum drum & the trenches of your reality. Vacations are a break from reality. No, it's not ridiculous & doesn't surprise me. Try to reflect on that wonderful vacation & the great experiences you had while on it . It may calm you down a bit, but your fears are justifiable as a cancer patient & all you've been through.

Best Wishes

May I suggest starting to look for the most beautiful pair of shoes you can find, and the most affordable ones ( that should keep you busy for a while) only to be paypalled directly after the scan, but before the results are there?
That or chocolate meditation..
Or lego.

Am on chemo nr 11 this week, if you jeed crazy conversations on facebook. Plenty of time.
