Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know anything about a thalium stress test .. ( where they inject thalium in your veins to measure how your heart is doing ) my neice had it done and is 36 .. she has alot of ocd.. and is now freaking out since the radiologist told her that it attaches to the heart muscle and thats how they check the heart.. he told her that it is out of you in 8 days .. but she is so scared and her OCD is so bad with this that I dont know what to tell her.. she keeps saying that she is going to get cancer in 20 years from it.. I try to rationalize but OCD wont let me talk to make sense to her.. she wants to know if anyone young like her has had it and are they ok now.. years later.. ( the only people that she knows that took it befoer were older people.. ) anyhow does anyone have any info on this thanks nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
