If you've ever had an MRI, I'll bet you know what I mean. I couldn't believe how noisy the MRI machine is!
I had an MRI today because Dr. Hansen wants to make certain that some "stuff" he saw in the PET/CT is in fact the start of arthritis in my lower lumbar region, and not anything to do with cancer...so, that's right, we are now praying that I "do" have arthritis.
This would go with Jeanah's Ankylosing Spondylitis (say that 5 times fast), but I don't think it's nearly as bad because I don't feel it...
Yesterday we met with Dr. Crocenzi (crow-chen-zee), another Medical Oncologist at Providence Cancer Center downtown to get a 2nd opinion and just to have another "team member" to bounce things off. He says the plan we're going on is good. We felt very comfortable with him too. Good to have good doctors.
Ta ta for now

Yes, those buggers are awefully noisy. And rather random with their noises as well. My favorite is when right as they are sending you into the noisy spasmatic sounding canister, they say, "Don't forget, breath normal." Sure! I've found that music is the best to help you "breath normal" Some machines are wired for sound and the techs will let you bring your own CDs. Others aren't and you just have to sing a song in your head. Just don't move your lips. They frown upon that.

Last time I was in an MRI, I fell asleep. It was the afternoon of the day my sister left town after spending 2.5 weeks living with us. I guess the MRI was relaxing in comparison...
