Thank you for sharing. You just never know what to expect going into these appointments.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

It's so true! It's nice to have an idea what to expect. Happy you found it interesting:)

[@rajneetkaur3899]

Very informative video. Specially the rib cage scan part. I did freak out when I had it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Me too! Not knowing in the moment if they saw something I was panicking so I HAD to ask. Happy to hear you found it informative🙏💕

I am also a Breast Cancer survivor of four years. This will be my first whole body scan; I have had lots of other scans, and I am claustrophobic, so your explanation was so helpful. I hope you are continuing to do well. Cheers.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Glad the video was helpful for you:). I hope your scan when well🌷!

[@jackieg4414]

Your video was so helpful. My first full body bone scan tomorrow. Thank you for taking time and caring. I’ll sleep a lot better tonight because of your helpful info.😊

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Awe, I'm so happy it was helpful for you🙏🌷. Sending positive vibes your way for your scan💫

[@noramoran5614]

Thank you so much for sharing this and for all the details. My daughter will have this scan soon, and I was both scared and worried. Now, I will be able to explain what will happen, to reduce her anxiety. I have seen other medical videos but it is nice to hear from the patient perspective.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Awe, I'm so happy it was helpful. I hope it went well for her💕

I had a third PET scan on Monday. My process was similar, though waited 45 minutes after the tracing injection, and scan took about 25 minutes. They used a mold to keep my arms fixed over my head and my feet still. I removed my glasses so I didn’t notice a plate coming near my face. They didn’t have a separate rib scan. I got my results online the following day. I had my oncologist appointment today so he uses the PET scan along with my cancer marker reading as well as my input on my wellbeing. For now, I’ll stay with my treatment plan and do another scan in 3 months with monthly blood tests. Two hints- take the blanket and use the toilet right before the scan. You’ve got to stay perfectly still, similar to radiation. All the best

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Thank you for sharing, and for your tips! I love the heated blankets!

[@myrtlebeachsouth]

Thank you for the video. Having one in 4 days. I am very claustrophobic. Just hope I don't panic

[@ChelseyTarnow]

I hope it was helpful. Wishing you all the best in your scan. You've got this💪

[@Irr23pr]

I'm having mines tomorrow, same as you, I need to have my eyes closed, if I see this I will get into a panic attack. I did an mri onced went in with my eyes closed and in about a minute or so, stated screaming and made them take me out. They gave me another appointment and on that one I came in dosed, had to be medicated, took some clonopin, and slept it out. But I'm so scared now seeing how close to the face it got. Uff!! Nervous as hell!!😢

[@mmsdecorator928]

Thank you for the video. I have an appointment scheduled for this scan on August 9.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

I hope yours turned out well🙏❤. Thank you for your positive thoughts🌷!

[@leeishioka7466]

Thank you for explaining the bone scan so well. I have to have one to check out an injury to my hip. The nurse I have doesn't know what type of test it is or what to expect.

[@ChelseyTarnow]

I'm so happy you found it helpful🌷. I hope your hips is ok👍. Sending positive vibes your way!

[@rajneetkaur3899]

Hi. I was thinking about you yesterday. How have you been? Was it your routine scan? Good luck 🤞🏽

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Hi! Aren't you sweet thank you! I've been doing well, happily busy enjoying motherhood🥰. Unfortunately this wasn't a routine scan. How have you been?

[@rajneetkaur3899]

Sending you lots of positive energy ❤❤. I am doing well. Almost 3 weeks on Tamoxifen. So far it’s okay. Hot flashes are bad but otherwise feeling okay.

[@mauromark1]

Thank you for this video. I have a scan in 2 days. Do you remember how long it took to get your results?

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Sending positive thoughts for your scan💫. I believe I could view my results online after 3 days, but I'm sure it varies quite a bit. Hopefully you can gets yours quickly🙏🙏

[@mauromark1]

@@ChelseyTarnow Thank you

[@TheBubbleBia]

Did you have symptoms or it is something we need to do every 5 years? Thank you

[@ChelseyTarnow]

I had symptoms we were looking into.

[@jupps72]

​@ChelseyTarnow what symptoms you had ? And what was the results?

[@shannonb2817]

Did you get a scan after you finished radiation? My radiation starts in 2 weeks

[@ChelseyTarnow]

No, I got one when I was first diagnosed and just recently (4 years after finishing radiation).

[@Elaine-w2s]

Did you drink a lot or water before and after?

[@ChelseyTarnow]

After I did!

[@Irr23pr]

I have to do me one tomorrow, I'm so freaking nervous. I'm claustrophobic, I need to have my eyes closed. If I see it that close to my face like I seen yours will have a heart attack..

[@ChelseyTarnow]

Hoping it's a comfortable experience for you🙏. I like your idea of keeping your eyes closed! You can do it💪🌷
