Hi all...
I have pre-op scans coming up on Thursday. All in one day, I have to have a bone scan, CT chest abdomen pelvis, mammo and sono on my remaining breast, MRI of my chest and chest wall ultrasound. I'm almost incapacitated with fear that something will show up....it's also very close to my one year "anniversary" and I'm just all of a sudden hit with a wall of fear. How do you guys get through the scans?? Ugh.

Sounds like a case for a little Ativan or similar to take the edge off. There is no reason to suffer when you can have some relief.
That is alot of proceedures at once, for sure. But it might be better than going thru this angst multiple times
Try not to invite problems that dont exist. Stay in the now. Hard to do, I know. During proceedures I try to zone out. Mostly, keep the faith
