Colorectal cancer (colon & rectum)Remission
I normally have a 4 week wait from scan to results, so it's quite a long time to deal with. As I am fortunately in a good place now, it is getting easier to deal with. I try and treat the scans like a meditation practice, especially the MRI's as they are long. A CT scan is quick and easy so I don't have much time to think about it. Occasionally the little gremlins in my brain try and creep out when Im laying down, but I have to push them away to the back of my head, think of my happy place and calm my mind. Once the scan is over, I also push that to the back of my head and act like it hasn't happened, otherwise the wait is painfully long. I don't think about the results appointment either, and try and plan things in between to keep me occupied.
