MRI results - finally
by utahmomma, Nov 09, 2007 07:34PM
My MRI (as followup to the "bright spot" in my head on my uptake scan) was completed on Wednesday. Finally got the results today. "Nothing remarkable - scan again in 6-12 months"
Looks like whatever it is in my head is too small to show on the MRI but "something" in there took a lot of iodine up and just happens to coincide with where I've had a bleeding sore in my sinuses for the past 6 months.
Cheers to another year of "wait and see"
Ain't cancer fun?!?! :-/

Did they do a PET scan on you? I know it's rather expensive test and not a whole lot of places can do them.
On a personal note, I just got off the phone with my sister who is getting a TT next Friday. Tonight she told me that her surgeon is pretty sure it's cancer. She originally told me he gave it a 20 percent chance. And she told me she's worried about her clavical area. She hasn't sent me her FNA pathology report yet, but from the way she talked and the fact she is almost 60, if it is cancer, it sounds like it might be follicular. Needless to say, I'll be on pins and needles until I find out what's going on.
Like you said...ain't cancer fun?!?! :-\

About PET scans, I now that it's a radiation scan so do you have to wait a certain amount of time after an I-131 scan?? Hmmm. Questions I *never* thought I'd ask. :-)
MJ - I'm sorry about your sister's problems. Are they looking at a substernal thyroid? Not fun. Follicular isn't good but at least it's still treatable with RAI. I'll be on pins and needles too - please let us know and give her our best!!!
On a personal note, I am tentatively scheduled for RAI on Nov 20 if my TSH is high enough, and I'm pretty nervous about what the scan will show. But, of course, I'll just have to deal with the results as they come.
Anyway, I have been reading your posts and following what you are going through and wish you all the best.
