Breaking Free from Scanxiety: How We Deal with The Fear and What You Can Do to Overcome It

In this episode, Candice and I dive into scanxiety—that gut-wrenching fear that hits so many of us before scans and doctor appointments.

We both share our personal experiences with scanxiety and how it’s impacted us through our breast cancer journeys. But here’s the big news: for the first time in 11 years, Candice has finally overcome her scanxiety! 🎉

We talk about how she did it, the mindset shifts that made all the difference, and what life looks like when you no longer live in fear of your next scan. Together, we also break down our approaches for managing scanxiety—whether you’re still in the thick of it or trying to find peace around scan day. If you’ve ever felt that pit in your stomach waiting for results or had sleepless nights before a doctor appointment, this episode is for you.

Let’s explore what’s possible when you break free from scanxiety and step into a more empowered, calm version of yourself. 💪
