Hi Europa Great advice from the ladies! It certainly is anxiety provoking having scans but it does get better. That advice that you dont have mets until someone tells you that you do is wonderful advice. I will keep that in mind when I next have to have any kind of scan to keep that anxiety in check. I am coming up five years soon and it really does get better. Oh yes, ativan, heating pad, comfy slippers, tea etc. etc. I love you all xoxo
