    I have had several over the last 5 years. The first found oropharyngeal cancer and I have had several since to make sure it isn't coming back. I am schedule for another in two weeks. I had a problem on one occasion when the Tech that put the contrast needle in didn't verify proper flow. When they infected the contrast rather than going in my vein it went into the surrounding tissue and made a huge burning bulge where the contast was located. It look over a week for my system to absorb the contrast and the bulge to go down. I would advice that you make sure they are able to inject saline to test flow. I am a little anal about it now and I make the tech test the needle for flow with saline. I am lucky that the one coming up in two weeks is without contrast.
