Good day to you,
I too have allergy to contrast dye (short of breath). I have had several CT scans in past with contrast after I was premedicated with Prednisone and Benadryl. No allergic symptoms during scans. My Doctor called the Imaging Center to get their recommended premedication dosing. I don't know if your allergy would be the same situation, just thought I would share my experiences. Hoping all clear scans for you with or without the contrast.

Hi Anonymous,
Sorry you don't want to reveal who you are, but that's ok we are all in this battle together. I had negative lymph node from SLNB and thought all was well and maybe still is, I haven't gotten my CT scans done yet! Yes, I agree, would like any insight from Tim or others with expertise. Hope all is well with you. God bless you.

Hi Judy,
Thanks for your reply and give Gene a big hug from me! He is truly an inspiration and encouragement for me regardless if I have recurrence or not. What a battle he has been through, currently victorious, praise God! Did he ever have abdomen swelling with mets in liver? Hugs to you too Judy, it must be hard at times yet you are there and that's all that is important.

Hi Squash,
THank you for your reply. I have never heard of a circulating tumor cell test. Do you have a link or website where I might educate about this? Never realized it can be circulating in bloodstream just waiting to be activated, kinda scary.

Hi Kim,
So happy to hear you are NED! I have been checking skin and lymph nodes monthly and having biopsies as well, but now realize there is no way to check blood for spread until it shows up and starts symptoms. What were your symptoms that made Dr look for spread through blood? Praying I am in the 80% or more that will not have spread through blood or lymph systems.
