Re: Brain MRI this morning

Denise..my last scan was three months ago...Im just hoping it doesn't take months to get this all fixed where I CAN have a scan. I hate not knowing what those little creepers are doing up there.
Bonnie, my Mom said the exact same thing. "Well, stop letting them stick your chest in there! It's a brain scan, not a foob scan". Foob is for fake boob. In fact, for the rest of the day she called me "doughnut foob". I asked my radiation oncologist about open MRI and if there was an MRI machine that could just do my head and not my chest...and apparently neither is an option. So tell your husband he should get to designing one post haste! lol Could be a lot of money in that.
No-one called me back today, so I will be on the phone bright and early calling the plastic surgeons office. I have an appointment with with medical oncologist tomorrow and herceptin as well. Hopefully this visit is less frustrating than the last!
