Got my MRI with contrast tomorrow not good at laying on my front , think I may struggle .. again … this journey we are on is harsh and I’ve only just started , just hope I can do it xx
I hope your MRI goes ok today. I had this too with the blue dye and was ok. I try to think, time goes quickly, close your eyes and think of something nice. They will play music for you.
Morning I have had mri in the past for my stroke but wasn’t really that much aware what was going on … I’m going to try and relax in it ..if possible, when I was working on the ward I was the one geeing on patients with lots of encouragement and positivity but now I’m the patient all which I tell my patients has gone right out the window, I was on a cardiology ward which was busy I was working the morning I was told in the afternoon I had cancer and since then I feel I’m sinking and thinking cancer is riddled my body … my mri is at 4pm so all day I will thinking and scaring myself thankyou for your reply’s it means a lot as feel I’m in my own even though I’m not xx
Had phone call from cancer nurse this morning I’ve got appointment on Friday morning to get my results and a plan if there’s one .. mri in a hour, can’t get my head around it all if worse case scenario I’m riddled with it what chances do I have at life xx
Hi, I was diagnosed 4/2/25 and had mastectomy and re-construction (DIEP) on 5/3/25 so almost 5 wks post op now. I got through surgery ok but the word Cancer is very scary. I’m 49 so like most probs don’t think it happens at my age. I’m about to start 6 sessions of chemo 16/4/25 and I’m scared now for the treatment, losing my hair, side effects etc… it seems this will never end but find keep busy, go on walks, talking to people helps
Hi MRI wasn’t too bad bit uncomfortable as had to lie on my front with my boobs hanging through 2 holes , I was glad when it was over , must admit nearly pushed the button to get out but carried on as couldn’t not have it done … the hospital I attend is the one I work in so just walking trough the corridors I see colleagues .. I’m going to my daughters tomorrow so will busy myself there with the granchildren my daughter has asked about a genetic test for breast cancer just to make sure she doesn’t carry the gene , they said it will take about 6 weeks to get one , I bought a journal today so will fill it in with dates emotions tests etc hope your day has been ok xx
I remember it well, it’s scary as is every step but nice that you saw some friendly faces there.
Yes that is right about the gene test, I had that done also and it does take a while to come. If yours was a hormone type breast cancer then it wouldn’t be genetic but worth getting the test.
