Hi all,

I’ve recently been informed that I have a complex ovarian cyst which needs investigating. I had an MRI but now I have to h e another one with the dye for someone who hates needles this is a big deal for me what with all the blood tests too. Just hope you guys can let me know how you’ve managed to cope?

I appreciate all your advise and support.

many thanks

    Hi there ..

    Sorry havnt a magic solution ... but if you go on u tube and put in relaxation therapy ... I'm sure you'll find something to help ..

    I used to have a fear of being cut in an operation .. the word scalpel scared me witless ... well my first born turned into an emergency ceaserian. . On the way to theatre l was sobbing ... and kept saying..  I'm gonna die"  needless to say l survived ... then years later I had to have a hysterectomy ... l survived ... and two years ago nearly .. my mastectomy... servived that too ..

    Still can't watch the cut from a scalpel... in those hospital programmes. . But I suppose we just have to feel scared but do it any way ... I did the u tube relaxation techniques. . They really helped on last one .. good luck ... Chrissie x
