I went back on Monday for an MRI and CT scan!
MRI's are not nice at all! The noise is awful and I had to lie on my stomach for
almost an hour, not comfortable at all. The CT scan was better, very quick but
I had some liquid put in to help with contrast, not a big thing but it makes one hot, really
hot. In the MRI it went through slowly, I ended up sweating like crazy! The CT scan was
another thing altogether! Because the CT is quick the medicine went through very fast!
I felt like boiling water had been poured on the back of neck and stomach!
The good is that the cancer is only in the breast! It hasn't spread, which is a great relief!
The bad is that I will have a full mastectomy, major operation!
And oh bother is that I am going in to hospital today, the operation is
scheduled for tomorrow!
I spent all Monday night crying and most of Tuesday! I really don't want this to happen but I also don't want cancer! I keep telling myself that this time next week it will all be over!
I'll update when I can.
Wish me luck!
Jackie, Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and positive. You are a strong and brave woman who will like the Big C.
