These treatments are wonderful and it is great that they exist. But many people fail to understand the difference in terms of pretest probability, etc.

I can absolutely see the heavy psychological impact pending biopsy results may have. People are quick to discount these issues when you raise them as a concern, but only if they never went through this stress themselves

I have multiple scans a year. "Scanxiety" is real.

> Scanxiety

Cute written word - even though two words pronounced completely differently at join (an versus añ).

Which do you pronounce correctly the scan or the anxiety? [scan]xiety or [sk]anxiety

I do once a year and have skipped 2 because of that. I've since resumed but for a while I convinced myself I'd rather not know.
