      I’ve been on the Merck 3475 trial for four infusions, scans were yesterday, going back to Dana Farber for results tomorrow. My anxiety level is thru the roof :/. Went to work today, it’s budget season, I’m a little afraid of what I may have done. I was so distracted thinking about tomorrow. Oh well, I can always fix the budget. I know so many of you have been in this same place……. Waiting for results. I feel better just getting it off my chest. Slightly 🙂
      Fingers crossed,
      Holly

          I am sorry that you're having such a tough time with scanxiety just now. I don't know what I can say to help except keep trying to consciously think to yourself:  "It's going to be fine." There is just as much– if not more– reason to think that as to think about possible bad news. Hang in there and be kind to yourself. You WILL get through this!
