Listen "Waiting for Scans, aka "You Aren't Going to Have Certainty""
Episode Synopsis
Once you've had cancer, you usually have to live with a lot of uncertainty. That bugs the heck out of me, because I like to plan and hate feeling blindsided by unpleasant news.I've got a PET scan on Monday and there was an "area of concern" on my last PET scan a few months ago. Other recent scans don't show it, but the PET on Monday might indicate a problem and/or the need for another open-heart surgery.I hate waiting ("Princess Bride," anyone?), but I'm realizing that living with uncertainty is better than dealing with definite bad news. I'm working on doing less pre-stressing and having more joy in the moment. Those are gifts I can give to myself and to everybody around me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everybody!Photo ©2020 Heidi BraggYou can also find some episodes on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeCancerEtc Patreon: https://patreon.com/lifecanceretc?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink NOTE: I am not a medical professional.
