I made it through my breast MRI. I would not recommend it. I'm glad it is an option and I'm glad it is over for a year but it was hard. Fortunately I have OCD and count things and I got through by counting the noises the machine made. It was 20 or 30 minutes, I don't remember, and in the end I was actually surprised to be done so it can't have been THAT bad. It was just uncomfortable.


I've had biopsies done in a similar position but this was somewhat worse than those. I'm not sure why or what was different but it was.


But it is over and my blood draw for genetic testing is done and tomorrow I have the day off from medical stuff. And tonight I think I'll sleep well after that stress. I'm cold for no reason which is usually a good sign I'm very tired.

One more thing was good. When I am very anxious I get a very upset stomach. OTC meds don't help. My family doctor gave me a prescription and it worked much better than anything I've tried up to now. I was so glad for that.


The other day of tests should be much easier because I know what to expect there. Lots of experience in fact. That's Thursday and also good because I get to go home.
