The MRI...

[Phaedra]

Hello everyone, and a big thank you to everyone who replied to my MRI fear post.

Well, I've had it done and am back home- it was nothing really!

Took 2 mg Valium first, but don't think it had any effect.

I didn't feel the least bit claustrophobic as the scanner was brightly lit and slightly bigger than expected...so was worrying about nothing, phew

Just need the results now...

Well done you x

[Phaedra in reply to Jennymary]

Thank you! Only got to wait til Friday for appt with consultant, results ( I hope) and a surgery plan...

It's the waiting that's so anxiety producing!

But at least I know not to fear a breast MRI

Good luck with your journey x

It's always not knowing what to expect that's scary, glad your home and ok. Good luck with the results.xxxx

Maybe the Valium did work!!,

[Phaedra]

Thank you all for replying, maybe you're right and it was the Valium!

I even let a newbie put in the cannula- he was more nervous than me..

Thinking about it-, that scan represents the beginning of a journey, like getting onto a roller coaster with no idea where it's taking you or where it's going to stop.

Am going to start a journal today to see if it gives me some control, and keeps things in perspective.

Big hugs x

Glad it was ok, the fear of the unknown is always hard.

Well done Phaedra for getting through it. I had mine yesterday and it was a breeze with no anxiety. Good luck with your results and ongoing plan. Take care. x

Thank you Dolbycat and everyone who replied. I can see some of you have been through the mill and you are so brave and inspiring. We will fight this thing!

Two years ago I had a cardiac ablation for Afib and flutter, after 6 years of heart issues and I stupidly thought that was the end of my health problems, then this comes along grr grr...

Hugs to you all x
