@nicki.bunting: PT 2: Getting screened for breast cancer- the MRI. All in all, this experience was fun.. only because we made it that way. Getting an MRI screening for breast cancer can cause anxiety, claustrophobia, and a LOT of emotions. Finding a way to bring humor to a serious situation is how I deal with heavy feelings. Like the mammogram, I threw on a comfy (and cute) set from @Paragon Fitwear , brought my sarcasm and walked in feeling FEARLESS. I can only control what's within my control, so l'm not worrying until they tell me I need to worry. Things to keep in mind: - even with ear plugs that MRI machine is LOUD AF. Try searching on YT what it sounds like in advance if you're feeling anxious. - ask the staff questions until you feel comfortable. -HYDRATE!!!! Especially if you're getting IV contrast dye. It always upsets my gut for a few days after and it makes getting the IV in on the first try (they stuck me twice). - have a solid support system in place. As a military spouse, that last one isn't so easy, but do your best and remember.. YOU GOT THIS no matter what the results. #militarylife #milspouse #milso #breastcancer #earlydetection #BreastCancerAwareness
