I decided to get my MRI a little early this year, mainly just to get one source of stress and worry off my plate. So I emailed Dr. Roland a few weeks ago to see if I could go early, and also if I could go to a radiation facility nearer where I live. He got me set up in record time and I showed up at the imaging place bright and early this morning, clutching my Valium in my sweaty little hands! As usual, Willie sat with me and held my feet (hey, you never know when you,might need to make a quick exit, right?). And also as usual, even with 10mg of Valium and Willie hanging on to my feet, I was in uber-anxiety for the first ten minutes or so. Man, I really do hate being enclosed - even the newer short bore machines are enough to make me want to curl up in a little ball of fear.
Anyway, by 3 this afternoon, Dr Roland emailed to tell me that the initial report looks good and no sigh of regrowth!!! Yippee!! (HEY, can women my age still say "yippee?".
This means that I am good for another year! Waahoo! Still working on my face, and still battling fatigue occasionally , but I must say that I have no complaints. And, hey, I'm finally getting my BAHA next week!
Hope everyone else gets good newsmtoo,.
Debbi, breathing a little easier now...
