Sarah, Thank you so much for bringing this detail to my attention. I really appreciate the comment and the clarification. I made the corrections, and please feel free to let me know if you find other areas where I can be clearer and more accurate!

Nancy, Some of these procedures we go through are so tough. I’m sorry your experience with an MRI was so rough. I can really relate. It is so hard to hold still during the scans, which take forever. I remember my body aching throughout the procedure. Do you need to have regular MRIs? My surgeon ordered one for me at diagnosis, then I had the MRI guided biopsy, and then a follow-up one 6 months later. My surgeon didn’t order any further MRIs for me, which I’m happy about. If I’m going to be lying on my stomach for a long time, I’d prefer to be getting a massage! Thank you for sharing your experience. The things we go through as we walk through our diagnosis and monitoring….

I was really interested in reading about your experience with this. I had a breast MRI to check on my implants two years ago, and my experience was quite unpleasant. The procedure took a really long time. In addition to lying perfectly still, I had to keep my arms raised over my head the whole time, which was a problem for me after a while. When it was all over, I said to the technician, “I’m going to cry now.” And I did. I’ve been through many medical procedures over the years, and that one was of the worst and the only one that made me cry. Still, we do what we must, right?

Thank you for writing about this topic. Knowing what to expect will help others, for sure.
