Horrible anxiety about upcoming scan....

Hi everyone...I have a chest ct coming up next week to monitor a lung nodule I posted about previously....my anxiety is just awful. I actually have had anxiety my whole life and this whole ordeal has been so difficult for me mentally....I have done everything I can think of....walking, deep breathing, meditation, massage, meds.....nothing really helps. I'm so scared that this stupid nodule is going to be something....it's all I think about. I've told myself I have two roads to choose from: faith or fear. I know the one I want to travel, but my mind keeps going down that dark and twisty road!!
