Well, I had my MRI today. This was my first for OC so I was not ready for all the stuff that would be over my head and be hooked to the table to keep me still. I looked like Hanibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs...at least that what the tech told me. I;ve had MRI's but they were not for my head. Anywho...I guess I now have a slight idea of what the table/mask is like for radiation. From what I can tell the mask is a much closer fit..cheers to those of you who handle that with such grace.

So...the MRI was negative. Totally clear and nice. My doctor smiled as much as I did which was great. I really like her a lot. She said the radiology department is going use to MRI for the radiology students so they can see an example of a clear one. That is all good news and the relife I felt was amazing.

I'm still having my biopsy on 2/2/2010 to check out my oral cavity as a whole but she will focus on my tongue.
