Feeling overwhelmed and out of control in the lead-up to your loved one's cancer scans? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive into the all-too-familiar experience of "scanxiety"—the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the anticipation of medical appointments. From the creeping anxiety weeks before to the physical and emotional toll it takes on you, we break down how scanxiety shows up in your life. Join me as we explore practical insights for recognizing these patterns, managing your stress, and showing up for both yourself and your loved one during these challenging times. You’re not just a caregiver; you're a person with needs too. Let's talk about how to take care of both. Find your scanxiety toolkit at www.cancercaregiver.com/tools
