I learned from everyone, and refer it as scanxiety as well. Maybe PTSD, White Coat Syndrome thrown in too, but they don't really bother me at this point, with over 30 scans, until I read the written report, and if it says cancer, better yet that it's clear. Then move on to the next direction, which I know may be more doctors, tests to confirm, if needed, or wait until next time. So far, I've been clear since 5/14, and my 6th month scan is due in December.

Good luck with future clear scans, and follow-ups!
