Hi Lu ann, sorry to hear you have to leave your current treatment facility due to the anticipatory nausea, but I have a few friends who have Dr. Silverman as their onc. and they speak very highly of her...I haven't heard of such a long MRI procedure, but is it possible for you to bring in music/headphones and listen to you favorite music during the procedure? I also heard that certain scents can promote relaxation--such as peppermint and lavendar...finally, I know you've been to the Gathering Place, have you checked out any of Belleruth Naparstak's relaxation tapes? I've listened to a few and found them to be very helpful in reducing my anxiety. Of course, you might want to ask your doctor for a mild anxiety medication, something like Xanax? to take before the procedure. I hope this if helpful, and wish you the best of luck --let us know how everything goes, we will be thinking of you...--Audrey
