The Calm Before The Storm

This past weekend, I made sure I had a full 2 days so I wouldn't be sitting around thinking about my PETscan and oncologist appointment this week. They are just routine check-ups. I believe I need to have a PETscan every 6 months for a little while and as time goes on, they become less frequent. Same with my oncologist.  Right now, I go every 3 months, but as time goes on, I don't have to go as often. I think I will always have anxiety before a scan or appointment. My friend, Alexis, calls is scanxiety and I think that is a brilliant word for it.

Back to this past weekend. 9 of us went up to Solvang for a wine tour and some shenanigans. We had a great time and it definitely took my mind off this week. And I didn't wear my wig.  It was very liberating. My hair is finally at a length that it just looks like a super short haircut. I was brave and posted the below pic on Facebook and Instagram.  Selfishly, I wanted people to tell me how good I looked so my self-esteem would build up enough to leave the wig off for good. Right now, my plan is to get through this week of doctor's appointments and take the wig off for good on Friday. I'll keep you posted.
