Re: MRI Hell
Leslie,Sorry to hear abt your unfortunate circumstances...I know how you feel,August 25th was a day like this for me,after 3 tries that day (Bingo) but the injections were painful,unfortunately,the med staff tells me this is quite common after chemo (rough on the veins) I had my Bone & Cat scan (everything is ok ,by the way,2.5 yrs out YAY) I hope your next try is a success...Nurse told me to drink water before & I always keep heat (a microwaveable Rice bag my mother made for me) wrapped around my hand til I get there,I learned abt this @ the cancer center....This may help you...couldn't hurt to try (saved me many times) Hope to hear that everything works out great for you,Joanna J
