Prayers up for you.

I had an MRI Guided Biopsy myself. While my personal experience was pretty bad (apparently I'm allergic to the contrast)the recovery from it was easy, and the results available fairly quickly. In my case, it confirmed a suspicion (from a regular MRI) of cancer in my right breast. I already had a biopsy proving cancer in the left breast, and a PET scan revealed some small spots on my bones, making it Stage 4. Even with that though, the state of medical technology today has greatly improved living with cancer! I cite my Mother as an example - she had her 1st cancer (thyroid) in her mid 40’s, has had cervical cancer, skin cancer, Barret's Esophagus turning to cancer, and the latest is Breast cancer - she'll be 82 this fall! She did everything her Doctors wanted her to do once the Thyroid was discovered, and she's just fine - lives alone, active social life, happy as a clam. My point is, just relax; even if it is cancer, there is plenty of reason to be hopeful. Let not your heart be troubled.

Thank you for your support! I’m sorry you have had such a diagnosis - but hopeful even that can be overcome! Your mom has sure been through it. Sorry, but glad she has made it through all!

That scares me too - my head has been newly extra weird the last couple months. It scares me that maybe this is cancer spread to my head/spine! (MRI w/o contrast was unremarkable of head, but did not get neck done.) I keep thinking of my sister.
