  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Rammstein.
    It’s completely natural to feel anxious while waiting for tests and results, especially with everything you’ve described. Many people here understand that waiting for answers can be one of the hardest parts, so you’re not alone in feeling this way.
    It sounds like you’re doing all you can by following up with your medical team, and the scan should hopefully provide you with some helpful clarity. While it’s easier said than done, try to be kind to yourself in the meantime, perhaps some calming activities or gentle distractions could help with managing the stress.
    Take care, and remember that there are plenty of people here to listen and offer support.
    Wishing you good luck with your upcoming scan in December and please keep us posted if it helps.
    All the best,
