Great way to end the first year of the PhD. We probably would've smashed the record if Prunella Blinman was there! @janette_vardy Prof. Haryana Dhillon Belinda Kiely Dr Antonia Pearson Chris Brown Christina Teng Emma Carson #medonc #phdlife #escaperoom

First PhD paper showing scanxiety is measured all over the shop with different tools & at different times. More consistency is needed so we can understand scanxiety better & talk about it clearly with our patients. Many thanks to Prunella Blinman Belinda Kiely Prof. Haryana Dhillon Chris Brown

Negative experiences around a scan were not always recognised as #scanxiety & coping strategies were not recognised as coping strategies for scanxiety. Thank you to our participants who have helped us understand this problem - so relevant to many with cancer

Scanxiety is not a new concept, and now we have data to show it. 55% of people with w/ advanced cancer (n=222) experience scanxiety around a CT scan. For anyone out there having scans: Scanxiety is real. You are not alone. rdcu.be/cq6Kx
