Re: Would appreciate any help or advice
Hi Tricia,
I do bone scans (and PET/CT scans too) for a living and I have seen many scans that just don't give a clear reading. Bone scans aren't specific for cancer-they show increased tracer anywhere the bone is remodeling itself-like from arthritis,stress fractures etc
So for your MRI, if it was me I would get lots of drugs and a driver to get home-just like Shelia said. Sometimes I can talk myself into calmness and sometimes I just get too wound up and that's when I like a little help. Lorazipam is a good one and last time I had a nasty biopsy I tried vallium and that really helped.
My view is that it doesn't make sense to beat yourself up if there is something that can make the whole experience easier.
Good luck
Henny
