Sorry, I missed a key detail. What you are describing isn’t the ‘whole body mri’ I’m referencing by to.
People in high risk situations like multiple myeloma, or various metastic diseases, or system conditions are a whole different category and there is clear benefit to screening them.
> Scanxiety
Cute written word - even though two words pronounced completely differently at join (an versus añ).
Which do you pronounce correctly the scan or the anxiety? [scan]xiety or [sk]anxiety
The former. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but with my (Australian) accent the difference is minor.
Kiwi here - I'll use the word with my friends in future because a label does help.
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.

It sounds like you have had a tough time.
