MRI’d like a boss

So today it was off to Kings College for an MRI. I’m still not clear on the route here – I was originally led to believe that in the lead up to surgery I would have one or two CT scans to check stuff, followed by an MRI before surgery. I think – that’s what my (personal) notes say from a brief convesation I had with my Oncologist during radiotherapy, so I assume I’m on that track?

If I am, then this is a good thing I think. I had an MRI originally booked toward the end of March, while also having two appointments for a CT – one last week, and one in two weeks. Shortly after the CT last week I got texts cancelling the MRI…but then a new booking for an MRI today? So, I think this is a good thing? Erm.

I do wish they’d provide a little more context on this stuff, but on the other hand I could just ask couldn’t I! I am seeing my Oncologist in a week or so, so I guess I’ll get all of my questions answered then, so until then I’m going to try not to worry about it.

KCH were again fabulously efficient today – they always are. The appointment was at 15:15, and of course I was there early. Only had to wait a couple of minutes until I was stripped, injected, and in the noisy beast. It took about 30 minutes I think? I say I think as I’m fairly sure I had a nap – I find them weirdly relaxing experiences.

Anyway, a positive today, and stuff got done. Getting stuff done in a day always leaves me feeling more positive – and it’s sometimes baffling to me that I don’t follow this through even though I know it’s true! On my bad days I just won’t move from the sofa. I think though I need to give myself a break about such days – I’m not fighting a cold afterall.
