CT Scan too close to BR Chemo date

So my Oncologist's office dropped the ball where I was to have a CT scan before my 4th BR chemo treatment. 3 weeks after the last treatment and just before the next BR treatment. So as it is the CT is scheduled for 3 days after the BR treatments. My question is whether the contrast material will be affected by the BR chemo material so close to the last treatment? Should I worry?
