Whatever for, Dag?

Wow - I don't think I'd want them doing that to me that often. (Not that I've ever had an MRI all -- but I won't even let them do a Mammogram every year like they keep pushing me to do. I don't think my b**bs need to be radiated every single year. Once every five years is enough.

MRIs don't subject you to radiation, so that's not a concern.

There's a possible anomaly in my pituitary gland - harmless, but it could grow, causing either eye problems or endocrine problems. The MRIs are just to make sure it doesn't grow unnoticed.

Update:

Went to the urologist. And I have a cyst on my right kidney.

Yay!!!!!

[Party]

So yeah. It's only 1 centimeter long. I get to go and get a CT scan in 6 months to keep an eye on it.

At least I get to wait a while before it happens again.
