Cancer - Scanxiety

After a cancer diagnosis and then treatment, scans, and tests can be anxiety-inducing. This meditation will guide you to acceptance of “scanxiety” and assist you in relaxing into a peaceful state. I've got your back, let's do this together. Approximately ten minutes of guided meditation, followed by 50 minutes of relaxing music.

Very relaxing. After the guided part I did some journalling and gentle stretching to the music. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for creating this series of cancer meditations! I'm so thrilled that they popped up when I did a search today. Last year, I had only found one series from a cancer support nurse, which was excellent. But it's lovely to have the patient perspective. As a long-term breast cancer survivor, I've had ALL of the feelings and experiences and often felt alone. I've only recently become outspoken on the need to normalize the conversation around cancer, validate our feelings, and raise awareness among the public and medical personnel. Your advice to be open with your care team is perfect and something we may be hesitant to do. There's still a stigma and hesitancy to be a 'burden' or 'weak'. Thanks so much for this valuable work.
