The Story Part 2-- the MRI

Now I don't know if you've every had an MRI... Well, a breast MRI is a bit different, especially if you have a big butt, which in my case-- this is true!! This was one of the most horrifying experiences I have ever gone through. Claustrophobia 101, laying on your stomach with your breasts hanging though two square holes (don't they know breasts are round) and hoping my butt fits in the machine. Well it was a tight SQuEeZZZEEe, but we got it done. By the way, they have two sizes of scrubs, Med. (which I am not) or XXXXL. I mean I was drowning in them. I felt skinny for a moment. I got finished with the MRI.... results came back in two to three weeks.... it read, "You have a slight thickening on your right breast. Everything else fine. No cancer or abnormalities. Please come back in 6 months for a review. "
I was to say the least "FREAKED Out". I read it over and over, the only thing I could see was "COME BACK IN 6TH MONTHS." I then read it to my family... They were all excited that there was nothing wrong , no cancer, no abnormalities..... But I knew there was something. Why six months?? What was the thickening? Why did my underarms still hurt??
I was tired all the time. I couldn't (not matter what I did) lose weight. I even tried prescriptions from my Dr. to help... NO I stayed steady... BIG and overweight. I had headaches daily. If fact the month of April, June and Aug I had a headache almost everyday.! May and July was nice the Dr. gave me something that took them away!! They could only be given to me for headaches every other month..... to be continued
