Scanxiety
Scott
I have spent the last year in remission.. The only downside at having another chance at life ,seems to be waiting for the results of the latest biopsy to come through.
I was included in a trial for groundbreaking therapy as my last treatment, which has meant a full biopsy needs to be done every three months routinely.
I get the results via a phone call from my hospital liaison person , normally two to three weeks after the sample has been taken. Without doubt in that time life is on hold. Thankfully the results have all been negative for any disease at a molecular level, which is the ultimate measure of my current good health status.
I guess just keeping a positive outlook on all aspects of life is by far the best way to offset any anxiety around the results.
The exercise regime I have is a really good measure that things are going along well, because I can guarantee if things weren’t positive I would be unable to do the level of exercise my well body is capable of.

Hello. I’m new here. I’ve been in remission for a couple of years after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in January 2011 (primary dx was in 2009). Going for latest scan results tomorrow. Feeling anxious - those lumps and bumps we can’t remember how long we’ve had... Very nervous that IT might be back.
