Kerry~
Sending you positive, calming waves of comfort today!
I was dx'd in 2002, 33years old & Stage IV. I get scanned ~q12 weeks. I've definitely gotten
better managing nerves &
anxiety @ScanTime, but it's never much fun
!
You've gotten some great advice -visualization & meditation, a little help from Xanax if needed (I take
1/2 of a 12.5mg tab),the company of a
calming friend.Maybe even clear your schedule so that you don't have to go back to work & just have a quiet rest of the day.
Most of all, what really keeps me settled is the confidence & faith that I have all the things I need -great docs, love & support of family & friends,
knowledge & experience -to deal w/
whatever that Scan report reveals.
You've done it before & I know you
don't want to do it again.
We don't want you to go through it again, but if you have to,
you can,
you will &
we're all here to help you through it and you will beat this monster back again. If needed...
But ALL will be well, I'm sure of it!!
Stay strong & when you can't, lean hard!
Keep the Faith~
