MRI tomorrow

sherrypl

I have been pushing this out of my mind for a couple week but it has finally arrived.  I have an MRI tomorrow to take a closer look at a spot found on my Mammogram.  The radiologist advised waiting 6 month and the report stated it is probably benign but my surgeon did not want to wait.  I have not read the reports but the oncologist said that it may be scar tissue.  My husband, sister, niece and friends have all offered to go with me and I know that I don't need anyone to go but it sure will make me feel better.  I love them all of being so supportive and understanding how scary it all is.

I know the worst part will be waiting for the result, I am wondering if I am heading for another biopsy because I am not certain the result will be anymore conclusive than the Mammogram.

Hoping for good news by Thanksgiving.  Thanks for listening, I know you have all been through it.  This disease sucks.

Just wanted to wish you well for good results Sherry, I think the MRI should note more than the mammo, I have scar tissue from surgery/rads which scared me too at first about four years ago.

Thankfully it was nothing more sinister and I hope you get the same news:)

Me too, Sherry.  Hope that it all turns out to be just scar tissue and nothing else.  Hang in there the best you can.  We are here for you.

I swear I heard that machine chanting "metal", "metal", "metal".  You think they could make those MRI just a little more quiet.

 Now I wait for the results.  And my husband trying to help out, asks them to fax me the report before they send it to the doctor.  I don't want to read the report myself, I don't think I will plug my fax in, but I have to give it to my husband for trying.

Glad it's done, sherry and I'm hanging in there with you.  Let us know as soon as you hear and keeping my fingers crossed it's all nothing.

It's ridicules how a ringing phone can cause my heart to end up in my stomach.  Glad I have some Xanax or I think I would have to bury my head under a pillow until my husband woke me up to tell me the results.  I know I am over reacting but I can't stop myself.  Hopefully it will end with embarrassment over my being a drama mama :-)

 This anxiety is not too good for work either, I feel bad that I am only half here for my coworkers.

We all know only too well everything you are feeling and it's the pits.  It's very disconcerting to know that this is how we all have to live for the rest of our lives due to having this damn disease.  I hope you hear all good news.  We have all earned the right to be "drama mama's" - although none of us want to be.  Am hoping all this anxiety and fear will just be wasted energy.  Hang in there as best you can.

The hospital has send me a letter saying they do see a spot on the MRI but they also think it is benign but to have a follow-up mammogram in 6 months.  The surgeon that ordered the MRI has not called yet so I am not sure if he will agree with the wait and see approach.  After a mammogram and MRI with the same conclusion I am hoping he feels comfortable with waiting 6 months.  If he does, I do.  His office promised me he would call metoday, they also promised that last Wed. but I'll give them a break because of the Holiday :-)

The Surgeon just called.  The MRI  indicates that there is fluid in the Lumpectomy/Mamosite Radiation site and looks benign confirms that it loos benign.  Still suggested to have a follow-up Mammogram in May.  So until May, I'll push those bad thoughts right out of my head.

Thanks everyone for pushing your positive vibes by way.
