"Scanxiety" - Anxiety and worry thataccompaniesthe period of time before undergoing or receiving the results of a medical examination.
Today I had a routine preventative ultrasound. I have dense breasts so they alternate between mammograms and ultrasounds. Since this was just a "check up" I didn't think anything of it... until I laid on that table and watched the screen as the tech moved the wand around my breasts.
The waiting and silence only added to the PTSD and negative thoughts running through my head. I know that time is my greatest blessing but this afternoon it felt like a curse. The ultrasound was emotional, my mind kept wandering and bringing me back to the first ultrasound I had before I was diagnosed. I remember looking at the screen and seeing a huge black hole and instantly knowing it was cancer.
Today I kept looking at the screen, looking for that "black hole", seeing things that weren't there. With every positive thought I would tell myself it was followed with 3 negative ones. I remember thinking what the next steps would be if the cancer had returned; who would I tell? What travel plans need to be cancelled? What will happen to my business and my relationship? How will I ever do this again?
Cancer is a mindfuck and the PTSD is real. Cancer isn't pretty pink ribbons and fun wigs. Keeping your mind free and clear of negative thoughts is the hardest job I've ever had.

We recently just started using Bryght and fromday one our clients have noticed a difference, it’s a simple easy process with clear instructions! I can’t wait to launch this service this coming month for all our clients!! Thank you for offering such an easy and safe product line! 😊
I had a severe burn/reaction and the derm suggested steroids. Before I started the steroids, I decided to start the strength cream nightly and did 1 Bryght treatment and it healed within 2 days!
Love this company! I originally got these with travel and the gym in mind BUT they came in super handy when my 5 year old got pink eye! On my third load of laundry I thought there must be a better way! Sure is! These lovelies are gentle enough for his red, inflamed eyes but tough enough to get the goop out. I can use one on him and toss it so no one else in the house gets pink eye (hopefully!)

Bryght Bootcamp Training Event Kali B.
Amazing Bootcamp
Barbie, Becca, and Luba put together an absolutely amazing bootcamp. I took the online training certification course and also attended the Bootcamp. I learned so much, and got lots of hands on experience (which can't be beat)! I would absolutely attend another Bootcamp and plan on sending my first employee to one as well!
I offer this to all my clients who are in the fight for their lives against this monster we call Cancer. I offer it after treatment at a significant discount. It’s a gift of comfort and love in a box.
Thank you so much for your sweet review! We love the photo too. Cancer is definitley a monster. XOXO
