Hi all, im new here,

Ive just been given the news i have cancerous polyps, they have removed them but i now have to have a hysterectomy, my consultant wants me in by early April, i am having a MRI on my abdomen today so was wondering will my whole body be under the scanner or just up to my chest and does anyone know how long it will take.

Thanks Heart️

  • Hi Tigergirl

    It’s been a while since I had my MRI but from memory it took around 30 to 45 mins and I think it went just up to my chest. It was noisy but they give you headphones and also a buzzer to press in case you need them. It was an easy procedure although I know some people find it claustrophobic. Hope it goes well for you today!
