I'm practically giddy, brain MRI was clear!
How fun was that call this afternoon from the clinic to have the nurse tell me that my MRI was clear...normal (we laughed about that). I feel like it's Christmas! I started on blood pressure meds yesterday after treatment with herceptin. It was 170/91 when I arrived at the clinic. He immediately put me on meds for my blood pressure and got me in for an MRI at 5:30.
Then my call this afternoon. My headache is gone and I am so excited to have a "normal" (no, it's never really been normal), clear reading. And an added bonus...my insurance which isn't accepted at this scan, MRI clinic talked them into paying for 1/2. What a treat! What a day! I am soooooooooo grateful! And bestest of all, dinner with my son and his family last night. Hugs from my 4 year old grandson made my day just perfect! I am so blessed. Time to pick up my 8 year old granddaughter and share my good news with her. She didn't like the idea that I might have "brain problems"!!! She'll be glad to know her grandma is still in the race!
Love to all, mary anne
