Scanxiety

I don’t think it’s in the dictionary, but anyone who has cancer or knows someone who does, knows that scanxiety is a very real thing! As the name implies it is the anxiety/nervousness that happens before any scans. A CT scan has been set up for Mike this Monday at 2:45 but unlike every other time where we meet with a variety of doctors afterwards to find out the results, we will not. His scan will be compared to all other scans since 2001 and the lung tumor board will then discuss Mike and then we will meet with them at a later date. I think this causes more scanxiety because waiting, while it may be a virtue is not easy! We will trust God and give it to Him as much as we can, but we are human and that is easier said than done! So if you all could say a prayer for no growth of the “nodules” in Mikes lungs and for peace we would really appreciate it!

I do apologize it has taken me so long to blog anything. I planned on writing something weekly or at least once a month but then I start thinking that people are busy and probably won’t care that much what is going on in our world but I realize I can write and whoever wants to read what is going on will read and those who don’t- won’t. So.... thank you for reading and thanks for the prayers! I will let you all know when we hear something back from Mayo and what they think we should do next, but in the meantime I am believing in no growth!!!

Be blessed,

Paula
