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

> Scanxiety

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

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

mcbain|14 days ago

The former. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but with my (Australian) accent the difference is minor.

As a non-native English speaker, pronouncing it scan-xiety (sken-ZAHyetee) feels correct.

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.

Multiple PETs?

Yes, with MRI brain too. I was on 4/year, but that number is reducing as time goes on without recurrence.
