Tuesday 5th May 

It's another year 
And scan time's here 
Clinical trial 
Different lifestyle

Nurse so caring
Always sharing
Fears to dispel
Inner thoughts dwell

Uncertainty 
Hangs heavily 
Settling in 
Mind tailspin

What works for one 
Not everyone 
Hope for the best 
With every test 

Waiting for results
Quickening pulse
Scary and tense
Worry's immense

So, vigilance 
And surveillance 
A sneaky beast 
Heed changes at least 

Melanoma 
Melanoia 
Scanxiety 
Anxiety

xxxxx

Melanoma Awareness 
Regular scans were part of my treatment 
More than 30 of them 
Scanxiety..... emotional response to uncertainty.....fear of the cancer returning
