Hi Mimmy
I suffer pretty bad with these things, I feel you, lol.
On my operation day I chose not to ask about the nuclear injection and scan for the lymph node biopsy as I didn't want to take anything. I had a melt down, but eventually my daughter stayed beside me, holding my hand. I listened to Christian music and got through it.
In saying that, I would of had a Valium if I wasn't about to have surgery.
In the past I have had 3 MRI's. I have gone to my doctor each time and was given valium (2mg). So I was told I could have either 2, 4 or 6 mg if needed. I got through with 2 mg's each time.
It wasn't a big deal to have this and took the edge of my fear. I would definitely take it again for future scans.
Maybe try that as it is hard to go through the fear and trying to tough it out. I've done the tough it out in the past, now I'm like I'll have the mild valium, thanks, lol. And I rarely take anything.
The scripture I also say is "God did not give me a spirit of fear, but of love, power and sound mind",.
Godbless& have a briliant scan. Sometimes you end up quite relaxed by the time you settle in to it. You will do good...xxx
