In order to see more of what's going on inside, I needed to get an MRI. Anyone who knows me well also knows that I have a history of fainting, usually around a medical something, so this was going to be a challenge for me.
First I got into my MRI attire, gown and paper shorts
Then I received my IV (ok, no fainting yet, phew!). I was moved into the MRI machine, on my belly with my breasts hanging through these holes. I had to keep my arms in front of me in a superman position! Cue the Disney music and let the magnetic racket begin. When the noise stopped, I was so excited, I thought I was done. Cue the contrast, round two! I had a long pep talk with myself about how I shouldn't give up, how people were counting on me to get this done, how if I moved I would have to start all over again and that would suck. Finally he announced, almost done, two more minutes! I hung on, no fainting, no moving for 30 minutes - success!! I did it! I didn't know for sure if I could do it, but I did! This was scary for me! The biopsy was scary for me! But I have been victorious as my name means - a laurel for victory!
