  • Hi and thank you for your post

    I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing symptoms in your tummy following an MRI scan.

    It is not common to experience any side effects following an MRI scan. The best advice we can give is to go and see your doctor. 

    They will be able to assess your symptoms and decide whether you need further tests. Although this can seem frightening, in some cases the symptoms will be caused by something else other than cancer. But it is always sensible to get any problems you have checked out.

    I hope this reply is helpful. If we can help in any other way please do contact us again. If you would prefer to speak to one of the nurses directly, you can telephone us on 0808 800 4040. We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

    Kind Regards,

    Tina
