I can sympathize--a little, anyway. I don't have a history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer, but I have those terrible lumpy breasts that obscure everything. So I had to have an MRI, too. It was a pretty uncomfortable experience. I used my yoga practice to deal with it. It helped.

Du...Dawn, I completely relate with your experience. Due to the history of breast cancer and highly cystic breasts in my family I have to have an MRI or a mammogram every 6 months to make sure nothing has changed. I did realize this time, as I said a bit earlier, that it was the circulation of the air that made all the difference. Feeling like you can't breathe is a horrible sensation. I also was only allowed to shallow breathe. But it is an annual thing for me, so I can only get better at it, right??Sheri Perl-Oshinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025716805041579831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971808675697780700.post-7971490169719320762008-03-22T08:50:00.000-04:002008-03-22T08:50:00.000-04:00I only had an mri once, but it was one of the wors...I only had an mri once, but it was one of the worst experiences. I wouldn't classify myself as claustrophobic, but I definitely don't like small spaces. My mri was for my neck, so I couldn't breathe deeply or swallow, which made the panic of not being able to breathe in such a small space triple. I could feel the panic welling up from my stomach until I felt like I would scream. But I survived it, and hopefully will not have to do it again any time soon. Glad your experience was better than mine!Dawn Buthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657505032780780562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971808675697780700.post-41884807974632233572008-03-20T14:49:00.000-04:002008-03-20T14:49:00.000-04:00Thanks guys.
