Re: Sir-spheres on other lobe/suggestions needed

Ask them to also put a support under the back of your knees, this will help relieve the pressure on your spine but the groin area will still remain flat as required.

Re: Next step
Maybe you should ask about adding Tykerb to the mix.
In regard to the scans might you be allergic to the contrast? Do you take and pre-meds (eg. steroids and antihistimine) prior to scans?
