Ep 16: Scanziety

Ep 16: Scanziety

Scanziety - What a beast! Going through the scanning machine and getting the results can be a scary process. Some struggle with the machine itself - It’s a bit of a tight squeeze. Finding out results, well…that’s also a sobering reality to sit in; is the news good or bad? The lead up in the weeks before the whole thing can also be a serious challenge to sit with the worry and ‘what ifs’.


This episode was recorded the day before Glynn’s big scan that tells him the news - did all that radiation and chemo work? Is the cancer still there or has it been blasted outta here?


Glynn lets us in on how he’s feeling, what he’s doing to manage his own scanziety, and gives lots of other things to think about when sitting on the edge of big, potentially scary, news like scan results.
