Ultrasound Doppler
Has anyone had experience of a doppler test? I had wbr in early March. In the past few weeks I've had sight problems with my left eye, happens about twice a week and lasts less than 10 mins, vision is distorted like I'm 'seeing stars'. Had brain scan, all ok. My oncologist sent me to the Vascular dept for an ultrasound of my neck (called a doppler test), all ok. Now she is sending me to the x-ray dept for another ultrasound doppler, this is called a carotid doppler. Thats in two weeks time. Has anyone had this problem? I've never seen it mentioned here. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.
