Come to think of it, one of the only things that taste the same is cherry Snapple. Even Bryers cherry vanilla ice cream. However since my wife won't buy that because of the sugar content i settle for Bryers cherry yougert with little chocolate chips in it... Yummy! So maybe you might think that i am weird, well i guess that i am, at least for the time being. 18's, Marty On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 11:19 PM, bkbarney via CMLHope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: Marty, I am talking about straight cranberry juice, knudsons organic 100% cranberry. no sugars, nothing but cranberries not from concentrate. you have to dilute it, it's tart, no sugar added...since you use one ounce with 8 to 10 ounces of water , it's only 1gram of sugar per drink..so it won't hurt the diabetes at all!!! Some people add stevia...I like it tart!!!! 18's and goodnight!!

Now i remember I had a kidney transplant and they don't want to screw around with that. And your right about drinking Cranberry juice and that is usually the only juice i drink, but ever so often i drink V-8 juice. I am diabetic so i try to use light cranberry juice.. Less sugar but not always depending on which brand i use. Read the labels on the side of the container but sometimes they are also full of cr=p (=a) 😀 18's Marty On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 7:15 PM, bkbarney via CMLHope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: Dear Jeannie, I have had the contrast dye with an MRI on three occasions.I have had many MRI"s without contrast. The gadolinium dye is most commonly used. It is different than contrast dye used in CT scans. I had no ill side effects from the dye personally. Just a taste of metallc when it was put in through the IV. I was told to drink lots of water and water diluted with straight cranberry juice, ( 8 oz water to 1 ox cranberry juice) to flush the dye through my kidneys and out of my system. So I drank a lot the next 24 hours. Especially right after the test. If you have significant kidney function issues be sure to raise this with your doc before the test. People are far less likely to have allergic reaction to this compound, as opposed to contrast dye used in Ct scans. Still, if you have lots of allergies, and are worried, they can prep you with benadryl and or prednizone to ensure no problems. Whatever your questions and concerns, voice them!!! MRI's are ordered with and without contrast all the time. It just depends on where and what they are looking for or trying to see, whether they can truly get a full view without the contrast. Depending upon the answers to the above questions, some times docs will feel like they can get a good enough look without the dye. Others will feel strongly that the MRI would be a waste if there was no contrast used. It depends on many factors. Please express your concerns to your doctors ahead of time. If you have a scheduled MRI with contrast and you go in and refuse contrast, they usually will not perform the MRI as that was not the test that was specifically ordered by the doc. So express your concerns and fears to your doc and get your questions answered before proceeding. Good luck my friend. Take good care 18's Beth Still looking Marty...I remember who you are talking about. I feel so frustrated because I have "chemo brain" pretty significantly and I just cannot pull names up ...but I am still trying!!

What a wonderful caring man you are. I will pray that you think of his name. Sometimes things just pop into our minds. Keep our prayer circle going amazing group. I was wondering if any of you have had the mrcp(mri) with the contrast dye. I don't want the dye but don't know if they will do it without it. Any ideas anyone?

Maybe someone else might be able to help. It is for a young man living in Israel who recently had a BMT not a stem cell transplant that is failing and i remembered about that procedure but can't find out anything new. As I said maybe someone can help save his life. 18's Marty On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 6:35 PM, 'Jeanie' via CMLHope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: So sorry Marty don't remember it at all.

I wish that Zavie were still alive but i know that he would have remembered. I know of a man that had a BMT recently and he was doing well because his HLA match was perfect and his BMT was an Allogeneic transplant. Yes, from what I understand this man may either be relapsing or rejecting his BMT. At the time of my "travels" i heard of a man who did have an Allogeneic transplant (BMT) and relapsed, however he was given from his original donor some of their Lymphocytes and he compleatly recovered. My dilemma is I just can't remember who he was. So please if anyone can remember then i kindly ask that if anyone does remember then please get in touch with me. Also please spread my request to anyone from any other groups. Thank you. 18's Marty, Zavie's Zero club member 1 -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
