I have some "scanxiety" ramping up this week. This Friday, I have my second post-treatment MRI w/ contrast. It will be a year in early August since the second round with the beast. My first scan this past January looked great. I'm hoping for the same this time around. The scan is bad enough, but waiting for the results is worse. I hate this. Sometimes, I really can't believe this is part of the scrip of my life.

I'll keep you all posted.

Love,
Kerri
