Hi Cjay,

That period between scans/tests and results is something I find horrendous. Every ache, pain, lumo or bump is imagined to be a sign of deterioration. I wish I could offer some sage advice, but all I can suggest is to try to keep yourself busy and distracted - not easy in the limbo between Christmas and New Year I know!

Good luck with your results!

My hubby finished treatment three months ago and he has no idea what stage he is at.  This has been the worst time as you live in limbo not knowing what is coming.   We don't see the Oncologist until the end of January and  no scan has been booked.   It seems we are all in a bad place during this period.   Like you every ache and pain becomes an obsession,  is it worse or is it the treatment! !  Stay str, some days are good others horrible.   Good luck.

I find something I really like to do, and do that. Like shopping, or go to the movies, or do artwork. I also am in wait. I have a scan in January to see how bad my cancer has gotten, and if it more tumors show up, I have to change chemo and really there is nothing else fda approved for my cancer. And I have to pick which treatments I want when I don’t want either of of them. 

I also see a counselor and a physiatrist because of situations such as this. They prescribe anti-anxiety meds among others. It really has helped me. My mood is much better than it used to be and I can handle difficult situations better.

Keep your chin up, keep distracted, and find what works best for you.
