n. the tension which builds particulary amongst those who have or have had cancer as they move towards their regular check up scan, hyperscanxiety being the period as they await results
I couldn't have put it better myself!
After a blissful, eventful and very happy few months, I was reminded with a bump, two days after arriving home from America, that cancer is never really very far away.
A mixture of jet lag and 'scanxiety' kept me up til 4am the night before my scan, which went perfectly to plan, but now I'm just waiting, waiting and waiting for results.
A week post-scan and all I can do is think about it. I'm constantly waiting for my phone to ring, and every time it does, I hope it's the hospital. Waiting is the worst. Especially when you're as impatient as me, and when the results are a matter of life or death-literally!!!
Well, as there's not a lot I can do about it, I will continue being 'scanxious' and update when I have some news!
For now...
