I am nervous before the scan (but not overly so as I know I am being checked and that is ALWAYS reassuring), but then as soon as the scan is done I feel a huge relief. It is almost like - "there - I've done my best (as if you can study for a scan??) - and I can't do any more - so whatever it is is what it is" and then I relax. Sure wish I could adopt that attitude for everything!! Do try not to be too nervous/worried. They really are days wasted - this disease steals too much from us as it is - don't give it extra time! Take these days back and make them special for you in some other way.
