Do you have a coping mechanism to get through an MRI?

Maybe your doctor would prescribe one Xanax or one Valium. They will likely advise you that you need a ride home if you take it. I was told to take the pill one hour before the scan, so I go there early. I did not become loopy or disoriented, I was just relaxed. And, I did have a ride home.

I have to be medicated. I waited from Aug 2022 until April 2023 to have an MRI because I'm claustrophobic. Something was seen on my right breast during my mamogram but they couldn't find it with an ultrasound. When I finally had the MRI, my right breast was fine but the MRI found ILC in my left breast. It was not seen by the original mamogram. Whatever you do, don't wait like I did. I was lucky they found it by accident. ILC is hard to find by mamogram.
