Well so far I had three ultrasound scans, a blood test, a full colonoscopy and a stool test and I am still freaked out that I have a large lump in my abdomen. Therefore now I am going for an MRI scan on the 21st of December.
I wonder whether, if it is clear, I will feel better, or will I still think I have cancer. I have now moved on from thinking it is bowel cancer (colonoscopy was pretty obviously clear) to thinking it is some kind of a soft tissue sarcoma or some other tumour.
Somebody on this forum suggested I have body dysmorphism, I so wish they were right, but unfortunately this lump is too real and I keep thinking it is growing and my whole abdomen is becoming asymetric.
Has anyone had an abdominal MRI scan? Is it good for detecting abdominal masses? How do you lie still for such a long time? Doesn't breathing into your tummy affect the image?
arrrrrrgh I wish I would stop feeling like this.
