Sang,
This is a hard one the whole living between scans, tests and treatment it’s normal to feel anxious. I am still on 2 monthly blood tests 3 years later and my husband is on 6 monthly CT scans, we still hold our breath on the lead up to our appointments.
My son was 2 months old when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and 2 ½ when my husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer, sadly his life has always been between medical practitioners and tests.
Its so hard when you have young kids its hard to find the time to slow down, stop and appreciate one another. What we have started doing is in the lead up to tests we plan a family day, that means everything and everyone else goes on hold and its just about us as a family. It doesn’t have to be anything to big, a few weeks ago on the lead up to my BT we started getting our veggie garden beds cleared and ready. Our 3 ½ year old thought it was the best day ever and to be honest it was nice for me to totally submerge myself into something other than my thoughts of the BT and results.
Be kind to yourselves, we all tend to put way to much pressure on ourselves to orchestrate big events. Your kids will just be happy to have dedicated time with you both and don’t forget when the kids are in bed toi have a little one on one time together, everything else can wait its all about the 4 of you. HUGS XX to you
