Click on this thread and read what Sharona has to say:hugs:

Ring the hospital and see if they have an open scanner - scanners are scary i know i was in an open one - the people there are sooo nice - i rang and asked them to tell me about the scanner as i was so afraid to go - the nurses were so understanding:yesyes: :yesyes:
Read sharona's thread but the absolute best advice she give is Keep your eyes shut.
I took a teddy in with me:blush: it had to be checked with a magnet first -
I held my teddy and in my head whil the scan was on i carefully described my ted as if to someone else:blush: kept my mind off what was happening:yesyes:
Good luck
You will be fine:yesyes:
Best wishes
