Thankyou so much have you had one what is it like ? X 

You will need to lay down on your belly. It is a bit uncomfortable for a few, but it was not too bad for me as I am a belly sleeper! It is very loud in there though, so ask your radiologist to give you earplugs and if you’d like to, they can make you listen to music too. Towards the end, before they injected me with the contrast, I found it got very hot in there. So, I would suggest you to tie up your hair as it would make it easier. I didn’t and I regretted it! It would last around 30 minutes, I tried to focus on my breathing to relax and that helped me a lot. 
All the best for tomorrow. Breathe and stay positive. They are doing this to get the best treatment plan for you without leaving anything to chance! Will be sending positive thoughts your way! Xx

Morning, Just wanted to wish you luck with Mri today. Honestly its not too bad and another step closer to getting your treatment plan. 

NeedingHopereally hoping I get my results today its been another long week waiting. Appointment at 16.20 so I'll let you know the verdict.

Sending big hugs  x

Franny38 hoping today will be the day for you!  You have been waiting long enough! Let us know how it goes. Sending positive vibes your way!

xx

Good luck hope you get you’re results today and you get you’re plan going forward xx 

Hi Notme and Franny38 how did it go today? I have been thinking of you! 
Notme, I hope the MRI was not too bad for you. 
Franny38, hope you got some answers!

Thankyou Mri was fine not as bad as I was expecting just trying to stay still when you have to is difficult , now to wait again for the results x

Good news ladies, results were back. No cancer in lymph nodes and tumour size and grade the same so no need for chemo. Didn't get clear margins but I'm having radiotherapy plus 5 boosters to zap whatever is left.

Just need to wait for oncology appointment, radiotherapy plan and then 10 years of hormone therapy.

Glad the mri went well, looks like we're all waiting again now. Feel very emotional tonight, not sure why as I got fairly good news, suppose just overwhelmed by the whole process.

Big hugs x

Oh I’m glad you got you’re results today and good you don’t have to have chemo, but still a lot to go through regardless of that  , I bet you’re emotions are all over the place ! It’s such a cliche isn’t it but it really is like a rollercoaster , up ! Down ! Lots of waiting and nervousness! It’s all about waiting it seems xx 

Franny38 I am so glad you got your results today and no lymph nodes involved! That is good news! I can understand you are emotional though. You have been waiting for so long and despite the results were “good” it is still so much to take in. Probably it is sinking in. Be kind to yourself - it is ok to feel overwhelmed. 

Notme glad MRI was not too bad. I have been asked to have another ultrasound today, just to be certain of treatment plan. I was told I might get surgery in 2-3 weeks depending on genetic test results. 2 weeks if BCS and 3 if mastectomy. Honestly I just want this unwelcome guest out asap. I am now paranoid and focussing on every aches/tingle in my body. The waiting is awful and I have a vivid imagination which does not help!
