I need advice from you all. I need a CT Scan and I have went two times in the past & can not get through my Scan with Contrast due to my veins blowing. Any suggestions? Any advise is appreciated.
I really need to see if the Ibrance/Falsodex is working. I was dx with Stage 4/ Liver Mets in March of this year. I started the Falsodex on May 23, 2018 and the Ibrance in July 2018. Getting so frustrated because I need to get my CT scan Results. I am scheduled again Jan.7, 2019 & I hope I can get through it. My TM's look great! Happy about that but praying hard for good results.
Thanks to all,
Kelly
Where do they put the IV? Is it the same person? Are your veins tiny or hard to see? They could try the antecubital “inside the elbow area” and splint your arm.
Hi It is not the same person. I had to go to hospital last time and getvthe IV team to do it. They get the vein on top of my hand because the one inside my elbow is to tiny. Actually, I got some Images taken but as the tech flushed with saline and was going to put the Contrast the vein blew. By that time I am so sick of it I just rescheduled.
Ugh!😢
