I had echo's throughout ,even when people I knew didn't understand why I didn't have a MUGUA. The echo's are not invasive and are just as reliable as the MUGUA ,if administered and read by reliable personel. I only have 1 kidney,and if it goes away there is no replacement. Any invasive procedure, such as the MUGUA, even one as simple as this, not counting the chemo and radiation, could mean dialasis and problably death. I have felt ,after a CT, more than once ,that my kidney has been taxed almost to the limits. The technician ,that I have delt with ,spoke to me regarding this and and asked me to remind him from then on, that I had 1 kidney, so he would give me only half the dye and make it easier on my kidney. I did not seek out his advice ,he as a knowledgeable and concientious technician , knew what was in my best interest and was not apprehensive to tell me.
I think sometimes we think that if it is not the "latest and greatest" it is no good???
