Waiting for scan results can be one of the most stressful parts of cancer care.
That feeling has a name: scanxiety.
In this episode of VCI Health Brief, we talk about why the wait can feel so difficult and share a few practical ways to make it more manageable — from knowing when to expect results, to stepping away from the patient portal, staying connected to your normal routine, and speaking with your care team when anxiety starts affecting everyday life.
You may not be able to take away all the worry, but you don’t have to manage it alone.
