Sounds like you are coping very well. I find it helps to have a routine.

tvman is right about scans.

i have been having scans for 12 years and it does get easier to cope with. You get to know what to expect. I cope with CT I find the MRI difficult because it takes so long and I get claustrophobic 

good luck with your results. I have a CT tomorrow xxx

the CT is easier for me than the MRI a which lasts longer and I get claustrophobic but I have found ways of coping.

i have a CT tomorrow 

Good luck with your results xxx

Thank you Ruth 

12 years, wow, I hope I’m still here to have them in 12 years. 
I didn’t mind the mri, weirdly, I quite enjoyed it  

I just zoned out and enjoyed the relaxation 

thank you 

good luck with yours too. I’m sitting here waiting for my 2pm phone call.

Hi Ruth ruthjp

For the MRI scan I close my eyes for the whole time I'm in it. The first time I kept my eyes open but when I discussed having a scan with others, I heard horror stories. One friend, built like a tank tried several times but he had to pull out because he shook like a leaf.

Have you any headaches lately?

Take care and stay safe Ruth

Hi tvman,

I agree it helps me to close my eyes in the MRI I also have music to listen to and take a Valium.

all these help but I cope better with the CT. Sorry  about your friend it is tough.

my headaches are better now thank you the radiotherapy definitely helped with that xx

Wonderful to hear Ruth, long may it continue

Tvman xx

Thank you
