March 5 - Let the scheduling begin...got the call today. It looks like I'm set up for my MRI and PET scan next week on Monday. Woo Hoo! I was told I would get my X-rays and blood work when I meet with the Medical Oncologist...waiting to have that scheduled next, hope to find out when, next week.
The good news is, I'll meet my deductible before the 1st quarter is over! I do love my insurance company and their billing statements...oh yea, baby!
Joanne, the MRI is a piece of cake. You'll lie face down on the machine with your breasts down in a recession in the machine. No discomfort at all. Worst part about the PET scan is getting the injection before going on the machine. You'll do great.
ReplyDeleteHere is a good website to see photos of the mastectomy and reconstruction procedures. I wasn't as frightened of the surgery after seeing these photos:
