The MRI that didn't happen (yet!)

Unfortunately, the person scheduling my appointment made it for the wrong date IE: breast MRI's for premenopausal women need to be in the first half of their menstrual cycle. This is because hormones later in the cycle can affect breast tissue which can then cause the MRI to show "false positive" breast changes in the breast. Then the radiologist can't tell if these areas are cause for concern and they then have to perform biopsies to find out.
.
NOOOOOO!!! No more needles and slices of breast removed unless absolutely necessary!
(I kinda empathize with Voodoo dolls).

Ron and I tried very hard to reschedule to an earlier date - we got it a day earlier but, alas, too late. So I'll try again in three weeks.

Until then, I get to continue my healthy healing plan for my whole body and mind :)
And continue researching BC (breast cancer) and deciding what to do about surgery, etc.
