[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 21476, member: 3419"] Hi, don't cancel the appointment. It sounds like a good diagnostic and precautionary measure. And you don't want to drag on the "what-if" stuff any longer than you have to. I've always found that frettng is worse that the reality of a real test. A real test gives me something concrete to :censored: about, LOL! I've had two MRIs, one for headaches and one to insert a needle to guide a lumpectomy. People warned me about the drumming sound but it didn't really bother me... I made it into a rhythm and a song and then dozed off. Good thing, because I am very claustrophobic. For the head films, the staff strapped my head down, so you will probably have that happen. I would have liked to have known that in advance to have been able to down a shot of whiskey or something!...but I just kept my eyes closed and kept breathing. Within a few min. I was fine. The 2nd one was easier in one sense because I didn't have my head strapped down, but worse because they couldn't get the needle inserted properly in my breast the first time and kept spitting me out on the table to reposition me, moving the needle (ouch!), zooming me back in again, taking more films, going back and forth until I was ready to scream. So the MRI itself is relatively fast. Keep the appointment. You'll be fine. Really. [/QUOTE]
