I get so anxious and nervous for at least 2 weeks before a follow up appointment every three months. It's terrible! I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't think, it's awful!!  But then when I go see my doctor and he tells me my numbers are good and everything checks out fine I'm HAPPY!! I can eat, I can sleep, I can even think!! Smile  Hate em, Love em, Hate em, Love em.

    I have one in about 40 minutes.  It's driving me crazy.

    Jane_M - Good luck!

    I have so many things to go through I am getting so worried, in 2 days heart scan/treadmill test, in April mammogram and MRI of remaining breast and because it has been 5 years and at my request a colonoscopy in May. Also going in to my center 2-3 days every week because of being on Coumadin right now. I am quite upset about it as I was down to once every 3 weeks for herceptin. I sure hope it gets better.

    Jane - you are probably in there right now. Hope all goes well.

    Yep, I feel the same. Start getting anxious about 2 weeks beforehand, then relief once it is over!

    I have no appointments at all in Febuary, its like I'm having a little Doctor holiday...!!

    I so agree.  My appt is in three weeks and I'm already noticing signs of anxiety.  Can't stay asleep, either don't eat or want all kinds of junk that I usually don't eat.  I've already cut out caffene so I'm trying to eat well and do my Yoga which helps.  Sending hugs to you! The only worse time is waiting for test results!
