Well today i have had the crappiest day
it start when the transport didnt turn up till 9.30
my appointment was 9.45 didnt get there till 10.45 was late they were really good about it.
I got taken to a room where i had to undress put my dressing gown on ready for my MRI
Man came out lead me into the room took one look at the scanner and my god its small i didnt think i was going to fit in there
But i did squeeze in got in about half way and i had a panic attack shouting at him get me out of here crying really stressed out shaking he got me a drink and i waited in the waiting room again he came back out and asked if i wanted to try again which i did this time he gave me a blindfold. i didnt realise that i was scared of enclosed spaces.
After that had chemo no other events thankgod

Rose I think it is completely understandable that you freaked out - I think you are coping with an immense amount of stress , treatment on the same day as your scan - its a lot for anyone! Dont be too hard on yourself - you went back in and did it - well done and I will cross everything untill we know your results. Sending a big hug, Joolsxxx
Hi Rose love, so sorry to hear you had a bad day. I know just how you felt with that \MRI machine, I was almost screamin when in it , but they wouldnt have heard me for the bloody noise of it.
I think that was far too much to have mri and chemo in same day, you need a rest from it all love tell them your havin a break, it wont make any difference to the outcome im sure.
Things are getting to you now rose and you cant keep on the way your going. Please try a wee break from medics for a while and gather some stregnth again.
awww rose sorry you had such a bad day,those machines can be so claustrophobic,i usually close my eyes as soon as i lie down, then i don`t have to think about it. at least it`s behind you nowand it wouldn`t have helped being late, i hate being late for things and that would`ve been a bad start, bet the chemo was a doddle after all that, lol. next time you could dream about driving that big red bus, now that would stress me out ha ha. have a lovely stress free weekend and good luck with your results
Hi Rose, so sorry you had such a bad day, it's over now and you succeeded with your scan, I pray the results are all good for you, Your a lovely lady and a great support to everyone on this sight, keep your chin up Rose. Joanny xxxxxxxxxx
Aww Rose......I did exactly the same as you,3 times they put me in and took me out of that thing..OMG I remember it well..I was literally shakin as they were scanning me...when the scan had finished and I got out I couldnt speak...(which isnt like me at all) lol....my mouth was sooooo dry.....
Anyway Ive told my Haemotologist she will never ever get me in that scanner again!!!!!!!!!
Well done Rose,bet the chemo was eazy peazy after that lol..
