Scanxiety

My first MRI -- and my first scan since starting chemo -- came back clean. No blood clots (which is what they were actually doing the test to see), no masses, no enlarged lymph nodes, no ambiguous findings to make us tear out our hair. (What's left of the hair, anyway.) It was a surprisingly big relief. I haven't focused much on the big picture during chemo, but something about going through a scan made me terrified all over again about what it might show.
