They don't always offer them (it wasn't offered to me) but if he is nervous about potential claustrophobia he should ask for them. The worst situation is getting panicked (like I did) and having to reschedule. If he has no claustrophobia and has been in similar enclosed situations he should be fine though.

I like the sound of what your oncologist is proposing. Hopefully it gets you in a better place in terms of the other medications and that you feel well on it.

Dinner sounds great - enjoy!

Christopher Cros****s differently when your boobs are hanging in a box!

I was reading comments from yesterday about MRIs. My first was for a knee, easy peasy because I only went in up to my waist. They offered me sedatives, so I took mine as I was leaving work. (DH designated driver). By the time I got to the clinic I was thinking they should always pass out valium as you leave the building! 2nd time I had to be strapped into the super man pose, arm extended above my head. I had opted not to take a sedative because I would not be strapped in, or so they told me, and I didn't want to get a designated driver. Wrong, strapped in, fully in the tube, face down. Not good. But I made it. 3rd time was for my boobs. The absurdity of being on my stomach while they opened trap doors in the table so my boobs could hang into these special boxes stopped me from feeling too much panic. I asked for Yacht Rock Music and told the technicians I was going to sing. And I did. I knew all the songs. So that's my new MRI technique, I sing and count the songs. I figure it's done by about the 8th song.
