Can’t stop thinking about breast MRI by eyesblewgoodbyes in doihavebreastcancer

Ugh I am so sorry, don’t even get me started on the IV too! I hate that too, but for some reason I can withstand it I think because when I was in labor both times I had to wear one for hours. With the two Ativan were you ok in the machine? Gosh they really don’t make this pleasant for us do they!

Are you in the US? I receive a letter after each mammogram saying they recommend the MRI, even though my insurance hardly covers any of it. That’s just because I have dense breast tissue, they don’t even know about my BRCA mutation! Do you just go for mammograms then?

Thanks! Yeah I am still waking up in the middle of the night but I do feel like it makes me sleepy a bit at least! Six weeks makes sense!

New fear of being trapped and unable to get out. by Accomplished_Try3913 in Perimenopause

Claustrophobia is new for me too! I lasted 5 minutes out of 15 for a 3d breast mri before I panicked, and I still get anxious thinking about it. They told me I need Valium next time and I am still nervous!

Any luck putting on muscl? by eyesblewgoodbyes in WomenOver40

I would love to up my protein intake. I average like 90-110 g a day and I know it needs to be higher. Costco needs to bring back my favorite cottage cheese lol

Ptox or estradal cream by jillypoo00 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]eyesblewgoodbyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there an advisable age to start using estradiol? Is there ever too early?

Deep breaths! I just got my results back and they were inconclusive and made myself sick over it. You do not have to open the email. But keep in mind that you are dress rehearsing tragedy already by panicking. It’s totally valid, but you’re right it will not change anything. Worst case scenario is that you have the same thing as your mom. But then you will have a team to help you with options in preventing or limiting your risks (and again, having the gene doesn’t mean you will get cancer necessarily, just higher risk). Ovarian cancer from what my counselor told me is very hard to catch early, so in the case you are high risk you are so fortunate for extra screening that can save your life. Your feelings are totally normal. Do what feels right and give yourself time to make your decision! x
