We are in New York, awaiting scans tomorrow morning.
Just a few days ago, we were in Hawaii: eating poke, letting the waves crash over our feet, swimming in the ocean with dolphins—and soaking up so much love from some of the people I love most in the world.
Scanxiety is starting to kick in. It’s not as bad as it usually is—maybe because we already know what the most likely outcome will be.
But anything is possible; my CEA has been stable, and I’ve been feeling good. If love and stars have the power to clear my path to health, I am sure I’ve received the right dose thanks to all of you!
I just finished reading this and the part about the waiting period after scans feeling like time is stretched really stayed with me. That sense of being stuck between knowing and not knowing felt very real. It made me think about how often people focus on treatment but not on that quiet mental strain in between. In the middle of reading I was reminded of a New Assignment Help Company dedicated to providing premium tailored academic support for university students across all major Australian cities and how even in totally different situations that same kind of pressure while waiting for outcomes can show up. I wonder how many people experience this but never quite find the words for it.
