Title: “Scanxiety”

Verse 1
The date’s circled in red, but this time you know,
You’ve walked this road before and you’re ready to go.
The questions still whisper, but they don’t own your mind,
You’ve gathered up courage you once couldn’t find.

Pre-Chorus
Your thoughts start to race, but your hope holds the wheel,
You’ve learned how to rise, you know how it feels.

Chorus
Scanxiety’s real, but your light’s shining through,
It cannot steal the brave heart inside you.
You’ve learned to stand tall where “what ifs” once grew,
Stronger in spirit, more grounded, more you.

You expect clean results as you walk through that door,
Trusting in progress just like before.
This new kind of normal still lets your joy roam,
Scanxiety’s there but you’re feeling at home.

Verse 2
You’ve learned to keep living between every test,
To laugh with your people, to love and to rest.
Your story keeps growing with each passing year,
Proof that a warrior can live beyond fear.

Chorus
Scanxiety’s real, but it’s not in control,
You still dream of tomorrow and the years to unfold.
You’ve stood in the waiting and found something new:
A deeper, fierce peace inside of you.

Bridge
Some days it feels heavy, and that’s all right too,
You’ve learned you can feel it and still make it through.
With each check and scan, your courage has grown,
You’ve found steady strength you once hadn’t known.

From first diagnosis to now standing here,
You’ve built up a toolkit much stronger than fear.
With faith in your spirit and care on your side,
You walk into each scan with nothing to hide.

You carry a mantra stitched deep in your soul:
“I’ve come so far now, I’m more than this role.”
Whatever each paper or picture may say,
You’re living with purpose in every new day.

Final Chorus
Scanxiety stays, but it’s not bringing pain,
Your hope, love, and laughter outshine every strain.
You’re choosing the moments, the music, the light,
Refusing to let fear define this long fight.

You expect clean results as you walk through that door,
Trusting in progress just like before.
You’ve learned you can notice the fear when it tries,
And still live this “new normal” with light in your eyes.

You’ve learned to stay present in the life that you lead,
Letting hope, faith, and laughter be the strength that you feed.
Every scan, every sunrise, every breath that you give,
Says, “Look at me now—I’ve got more life to live.”
