Writings of a teachermom, choosing to stay home with her kids, while loathing all domestic responsibilities! In late Aug. 2008, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer. After surgery, chemo and radiation, I was given theall clear. However, in the late summer of 2008, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which metasticized to other areas.
I had an MRI yesterday of my head and spine. It was a 3 1/2 hour MRI. Which means I had to listen to jackhammer like noises reverbrating throughout my already aching head for 3 1/2 hours, while I had to lie completely still. They did give me 2 bathroom breaks, and I guess when it took them 4 times to inject some dy in me one could call that a break as well. It was not a fun day.

Teacher for 8 years...staying home to care for the kids...2 boys and one girl. Cameron - 8, Max -- 5, Ella - 3 In August 2007, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, and now dealing with all the ramifications of it including a brain tumor. And now it has gone to the spine. But I continue to have faith and praise God!

With all of our technological advances, it is hard for me to believe that an MRI would take so long! I'm so sorry.
As always, we're praying for you!

Cari....That sucks!! God is really giving you the strength to get through all this.
Love you, Dana
Hoping today is a better day for you. I continue to pray for you to be cancer free! Doesn't your MRI tech put headphones on you with piped in soft music?
They need to set up MRI's so a person can read a darn book while they're in there.
At least that's my opinion. :-)
