Time for more scanxiety

I went through the time line and the good news is that it has almost been a year since I was diagnosed with a return of BC.  The bad news is it is almost time to go through all the scans again.  That creates a tremendous amount of anxiety....which we have dubbed scanxiety.  It will have been a year since my bone scan so I will have to have another one very soon.  Same for the CT but since we did one in September for a possible pulmonary embolism after surgery we may wait on that one.   I see my oncologist on 12/18/12 and we will decide when to do the scans.  The bone is where the most folks get metastases if they get them at all.  That's the one I am most concerned with.  Well also the lung.  That would suck to get it in my lung(s).
Here's hoping for a calm Christmas season and a very Happy New Year!
