Sorry

Anne they did not use a dye when they did mine. Just straight X-rays.

I think the tech you had was nuts a person can be allergic to anything.....there

is nothing that is totally safe from all people.

I can see

her saying this to someone that has NO allergies. Or that with some

types of dye, that it is common to get a warm type feeling.... because

it is, common to get really warm from some of the dyes injected for x-rays.

Being

that I had 40+ documented allergies... you would have thought she would

keep her mouth shut, about something she doesn't know anything about !!!!

I did

find out later, that she had pulled this same shit before, telling the

patient she was right, and they were wrong... her patient just about coded

on the table.

All I

can say is.... THANK GOD for Benadryl!

Ahhh!

Barbara,

I'm not very knowledgeable about bone scans. But I do know that there are

different types. Some are good at detecting types of bone cancer, and some are

not good for that, but are used to determine osteoporosis, etc.

As to whether or not it is safe for us, each person will need to make that

determination for themselves. For some people, the amount of radiation is worth

it if it means detecting bone mets early enough to stay on top of it. But for

others, they might not feel it makes a difference based on their overall plan.
