Donna D. Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Once again it is test time for my husband. Yesturday he had c.t. scan and bone scan done. We have been on a fairly smooth run with stable disease since September. Everything was going very well until the tech asked my husband if he had problems with his kidneys. Of course this was enough to set the worry ball in motion. So here I am just asking for a little backup of prayers and high hopes that the conductor of this coaster will once again PUT THE BRAKES ON!!!!!!!!!!!

ginnyde Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Donna, With this disease, anytime they ask about a body part we get totally paranoid. The kidney question may have just been a standard question they ask everyone. Get off the worry wagon. Lot's of people here will send prays up for good results.

karen335 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Donna, I lift you and your hubby up in prayers. As Ginny said, this may be a standard question. Theya have a tendency to ask you a question and not give a reason for asking. Think positive that he has continued clean scans...

mhutch1366 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 That IS a standard question whenever you get contrast with a scan. Any contrast or dye needs to be processed out by kidneys. I have to get urinalysis for kidney function before I get my CT scans every six months. They dont' ask about kidneys, they just do the test, and I ask them. Geez, life is too much sometimes. Kidneys. Are we all like that? I guess we are..... and I wouldn't have it any other way (taking things for granted) but I would like people not to have to leap to worry unnecessarily. Prayers for all things good, and to not worry. XOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO_Sugar Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Donna, Prayers and good wishes being sent your way. I once had an x-ray tech ask me if I was missing part of a lung??? It was actually covered with fluid at the time but they do ask some disturbing questions sometimes. God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
