Scanxiety

I have a CT scan coming up soon and I can’t think about anything else.

  • Hello Devon_Dave

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with scanxiety at the moment. This is something that many people will have experienced and understand the concerns that can come to the front of your mind whilst waiting for tests. 

    You might find this article about scanxiety on the Cancer.net website helpful but I'd also suggest giving one of our nurses a call to talk through how you're feeling. Often chatting through some of our fears with someone outside of immediate friends and family can help to reframe some of the anxiety. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your results Dave and that they bring you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
