Well, finally, I get to see what is in my head...(hopefully nothing that is not supposed to be!).

The only thing that could mess it up is my MediPort....the surgeon can't find the record of what he put in, so he doesn't know whether it contains metal or not....sigh....If it's metal, well, no MRI till after the 26th....when my faithful friend is removed....

Hugs, Kathi

    Your sure the rocks in your head contain no ore veins that might affect the MRI?

    Kathi, here's hoping that your port contains no metal! When I got mine put in they gave me a handy dandy little medical alert card. Doesn't say if it has metal or not, just that its there and what it is. Do you remember getting a little card like that? Handy little bugger...

    Here's hoping your doc finds out what he needs and that the MRI can go forward...

    What about a Pet scan? Is that an option if the MRI falls through? Just thinking out loud...

    Kathi,

    Praying for good news with your MRI and that whatever is in your head is just all in your head (ha-ha). I hope you will be able to just get this test over with on Fri. and not have to wait until later on in the month. Waiting is the worst part.

    God bless,

    Kathi,
    Hope the scan comes out well. All they need to do to determine if the port contains metal is to take a simple x-ray first.

    Hugs for a negative scan.
