I am copying something SHoba just posted to me: "Perhaps your onc is just extra proactive. But going through these tests does take a toll on us, emotionally and physically"

I couldnt' have said it better. I've just gone through a few months of tests on my liver -- ultrasound and then a CAT scan. My liver is fine. I get needle pain in my lumpectomy breast sometimes, but not steadily. I'm sure you are ok. As for me, Xanax was this girl's best friend for a few days around my Cat Scan. I don't try to brave out the anxiety any more.
