Hi  just found out I'm CHEK2 positive, going for breast MRI. I don't usually at on my belly because it's too darn big! I see from the pix that you don't lay completely flat but worry that it will be hard for me to lay still for so long. Can anyone tell me if that is a legitimate concern? Thank you.

    I've had several breast MRIs and it is not that uncomfortable. Ask for extra towels to brace areas that are harder to keep still. (I have a bad right shoulder.) Also I highly recommend taking the Valium they offer. You have to have a driver but it is worth the hassle. Good luck!
