Thank you, I am home now and looking forward to a meal, it was ok, just a bit different than I had before, my face was almost in the machine, and the dye was automatic, just the cannula put in first, but I am ok and got through it, just MRI Sat week, then I should have a plan for next stage.
Take care
Ann
Hi Ann,
I'm glad that this went well and hope that you enjoy your meal. It won't be that long now until your MRI is behind you too. I really find that having the music playing helps to hide a lot of the clunks. Here's hoping that it all goes well.
Please keep in touch and remember that we are always here for you.
Kind regards,

Thank you so much, it’s lovely speaking with you, I will keep you updated.
kind regards

Hi Cazzamck,
I'm glad to hear that you now have a date for your MRI. Waiting for all these tests and the results, is always a trying time, but it will soon be over.
Please keep in touch and let us know how things go on Thursday. Remember that we are always here for you.
Kind regards,

I've now discovered that MRI is next Fri as I have genetic testing on Thursday. I had to ring the department to tell them that I have metal plates in my arm.
Oh bless you, what is genetic testing.
The nurse asked me if I had any metal, I had already taken out my earings, my consultant also asked me about metal and also meds, as I am diabetic.
Today I went with my Husband our CVan had some work done on it it’s still under guarantee, so then we had our lunch out, it was nice just getting out and fresh air, today it was sunny.
So is your MRI scan on the 9th Feb mine is the 10th next day.
The CT scan the machine must have been new, the dye goes in automatic, cannula fitted first, and I could see it going around super fast it was in a window in front of my face, and it comes pretty close, first I was a bit scared, and I was more enclosed than I thought.
After my MRI, I hope things move pretty fast, I am very aware of this lump now.
Bst Wishes
Ann
HI Cazzamck,
This is even better, as you will get both tests carried out quickly. What did the hospital say about the metal plates in your arm?
Kind Regards,

They said its not a problem, but I will remind them again when I go.
They think it might be genetic because 3 of my aunts and my cousin had BC.
This would make a difference as to whether I have a single or double mastectomy.
