Andrea Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I was not sure where to post this, but I had to post it somewhere out of supersticion. I am getting a breast MRI on Friday b/c of high risk. The breast surgeon I see for screening recommends it, insurance company says no, so $1,625 it is. Besides history with grandmothers, there are studies about the link with the hormones from over 4 rounds of fertility treatments and I only did 13 rounds total Anyway this is a great time for me to nag (I am so good at that, ask my family) all family members/caregivers not to neglect themselves and not to skip their own annual check ups b/c the last thing you ever want to hear a dr say is "you should have come in sooner". Also remember to bug the one you are caring for not to neglect other body parts b/c things can happen to those areas too. My mom says I am a pain in the butt. I told her I am not the colonoscopy I want her to get!!! She claims she had one 5 years ago and that is good enough. Mental note to ask her onc at the next visit PS--You'd think that being as neurotic as I am I'd give up cake and ice cream, but nope. As Rich says, life is too short, eat a cookie!

fillise Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Andrea--sending positive thoughts your way. I had a mammogram in July--all normal! You are right, we caregivers do need to stop and make time for our own health issues. susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hope all went well, you have a bargain on the MRI........mine was $1982! Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 My MRI was negative. Yay! She recommends me get genetic testing b/c there is family history of ovarian cancer, so I will do that. Hope others keep up with those exams. Still on the fence about when to do chest scan, got so many different opinions on it. I did have one 5 years ago. Had an infiltrate that went away. Hugs to all.
