Scanxiety

It's time.

It's time to head back to Texas.

The anxiety (or "scanxiety" to most cancer patients) has been creeping up. We've pushed it aside time and time again, but it's persistent, the little bugger. It just won't give up. And as we get closer to the appointments, it adds pressure and frequency. We feel it.

The PET/CT scan is scheduled for Monday followed by the Endoscopic Ultrasound on Tuesday. We don't meet with the doctor, so presumably won't get any results, until Wednesday. Just hoping for three little letters . . . N.E.D. (No Evidence of Disease.)

I never thought we'd love three little letters so much.
