Nuclear Stress Test - info needed ASAP
I'm really hoping someone can help me as soon as possible. I am currently
nursing a 17 month old (healthy) toddler. I had a nuclear stress test today and received contradictory information about how long I need to stop nursing. I called the hospital a week ago and the physicist at the hospital told me that I needed to stop for only 4 hours after the completion of the test. Today the doctor told me that it was probably safe to nurse but that they recommend stopping for 24 hours. I then called Motherisk (Toronto Sick Kid's Hospital) and they said that I need to stop for 3 days!!! Here is the information I received from the technician at the hospital. Would someone do me a HUGE favour and check Hales (if that's the resource) and let me know. I'm worried sick about this. Technetium 99m - MYOVIEW - tetrofosmin Thank you!!!!! Carolyn |

Nuclear Stress Test - info needed ASAP
"K&C Hayward" wrote in message news Thank you for your response. I spoke again this morning to the radiologist at the hospital and they are convinced that their info (waiting 12 - 24 hours) is sufficient for the type of agent used, but concede that waiting 3 days (as per Motherisk/Sick Kid's) is a cautious approach. They did, however, suggest a reasonable solution. I'm going to go back to the hospital today and pump and they will test the milk. That's a great idea. Glad you're getting the answer you need. |
