Hi marierose, just so you don’t feel alone, I also had the cage type thing when I had an MRI on my head last month. Not the most pleasant of things is it! As for the music and headphones you can’t hear a thing can you!
Hugs Janette xx
Hi Marirose
Thank you for your reply to my post. I am so sorry to hear about your MRI experience & hope you are being looked after and getting the best treatment for you. Sending you big hugs.
My MRI is on Monday and I am dreading it -not had one since diagnosis nearly 4 years ago. Hoping that I can listen to my own music!
All the best to all you lovely ladies on here.

PS When is secondary breast cancer awareness day 2016 this month? Probably the unlucky 13th again! I can’t find anything about it.
Hi everyone thankyou janette glad I was not on my own with the cage thing.
I have just got back from the hospital having had cycle 3 taxol. When i arrived at the chemo unit they told me the Dr wanted to see me up at the breast unit. So I needed to go straight away they said they were ringing up to let them know. When I got there no one knew about it had to wait over a hour for someone to deal with it. Yes the Dr wanted to see me so I was shown into a consulting room they keep for bad news Great was it to do with the MRI from Saturday!
He came into the room and said he wanted a quick word to see how I was getting on with the treatment my scan was clear of any spine compression. We asked about the cage he was unsure he felt it could be to help keep the spine straight. But what he was concerned about was neurological problems because I have MS this drug could make it worse and it does cause alot of problems in that area. i was given all the instructions phone here unless after 5 phone cancer hospital. I have to let him know if there were any problems and to ask to see him every 2 weeks. I will say this Mathew is on the ball and he said it was ok to call him by his 1st name.
Then back to the chemo ward I explained to the ward sister about the other place not knowing I was going. She was annoyed because she had rung them and was going to ring again to complain because it has happened before and it holds up the treatment times.
Helen the Breast Cancer awareness Day is 21st October so everyone wear pink on that day we had a big board at the Breast unit.Good luck with your scan and anyone else awaiting results
Love and (((hugs))) xxx
Hello marirose
Well it sounds like you have a good oncologist and being on first name terms as well.
Reading your posts …it sounds like taxol is helping your pain and so hopefully it will continue to do its magic for you.hopefully you will keep your hair as some ladies have.
I’ve popped the kettle on in the cyber cafe for you and there is a slice of lemon drizzle cake as well.
Hugs xx
Hi Marirose, yes sounds like the onc is good and nice too!
good that there is no spinal compression. Glad you are getting support re the drug
love moijanxx.
Marie rose, so glad to hear scan results were good. Have my ct on Monday and already in bits. x
Great news Marierose. Hang in there Stresshead.
Had to wait three weeks for my results this time but found out today there’s still no progression - hoorah! And as the hormone treatment is working at the moment, onc supported the idea of having my ovaries out so (potentially) bye bye Zoladex!
MarionP…fantastic news!!
FF…fingers crossed for you for tuesday.x
So pleased at least that bit is done, FF. Now to keep busy until Thursday…that IS quick!! Do you want to do a house swop, I’m sure you’d love England!!! xx
Hi Marion great news about the scan. What happens if they remove ovaries does that mean you don’t have to take zoladex is that because you won’t produce easteogen? FF good luck for results . Hope everyone is doing well or feeling better Sharon I’m thinking of you hope you feel better soon. Carolyn and Janette hope your doing well. Love Julie x x
FF fingers crossed for you that the results will be ok my you are lucky to get them so quick saves spending so long waiting. Sending you lots of cyber positive vibes.
Love and ((((hugs)))) xxx
Wishing you all the best for good results FF. I had my MRI results through and there’s a new liver met appeared so I am switching to Kadcyla tomorrow. I am now a lot calmer now I have a new plan -I do think the waiting for results is the worst part.
Sending you big cyber hugs and a happy birthday xxxx
Helen, sorry to hear abot the new liver met but as you say, the scanxiety is over and yo have a new plan. I have another 2 weeks to wait (thats if the scan reslts have been sent to my onc) : am expecting bad news but not sure there’s mch left for me to go on to. The waiting is agony isnt it…wish i was FF !!
Well FF …sort of good and bad results but at least some areas are stable and you are enjoying quality of life …being able to exercise etc.
It does sound like ibrance is working for you and at least now you can enjoy your birthday whoop whoop.
Will arrange a cake and celebrations in cyber cafe tomorrow for you.
Hugs xxxx
Hi Helen
Sorry to hear about the new liver met but lets hope the Kadcyla I remember when NICE were going to stop funding it and a protest was set up I remember signing a petition it was said to be a very good drug. So lets hope it will be a good one for you and does it’s job. Best wishes.
FF you sound as though you have a thorough onc she seems to be positive over your condition. But Stable Mable after all this time is great but I agree with you to leave the next scan at 3 months. We do live our lives from one scan to the next. Have a great Birthday and celebrate both results and birthday you deserve it.
Love and ((((hugs)))) to all xxx
Hi Julz,
Yes, the Zoladex stops the ovaries producing oestrogen so no ovaries = no Zoladex. However, your body can still produce oestrogen by other means so I will still carry on with Anastrozole to stop it doing this. My main reason for exploring this route is to have one less injection and trip to the surgery each month.
Take care,
Marion
Hi Marion well I think no ovaries and one less medication sounds good I never ask questions just get in and out as quick as possible. Good luck with this love Julie x x x
