No MRI
Breathing a huge sigh of relief after talking with the nurse at the surgeon's office. She said many women don't get an MRI prior to surgery for various reasons…. one being claustrophobia. I asked about having it done with an open MRI and she said they are not equipped to do the breast test.
Thanks to everyone who shared the fear and anxiety they had when going through the test. Even those who never had the experience said they would have to be knocked out. All the cards, emails and comments in the journal have helped me immensely and it's the best feeling in the world knowing I'm so loved.
My appointment on the 24th will be to hear more details about the surgery, what to expect and to set a date.
