In the Waiting Room: Managing Scanxiety
2025-10-23 20:00
Cancer often leads to anxiety on many different levels, and scanxiety, the feelings that emerge while waiting for test results, is particularly challenging. Scans are prescribed to diagnose cancer, stage a cancer diagnosis, determine if treatment is working, as well as check for a potential recurrence.
If you are in treatment, a survivor, or living with heightened cancer risk, join us to explore scanxiety, its unexpected impact, and ways to mitigate its effects.
Bonus for our Embrace Community: We invite members of our Embrace community, those facing metastatic breast cancer or advanced ovarian cancer, to stay on at the end of the webinar for an intimate breakout session with our experts and Bonnie Beckoff, Director of Sharsheret Support Services.
