in Kidney Cancer #1

So I go in for my 3 month scan today, since surgery. I had my whole kidney removed, so the doctor is ordering an IV hydration before and after my CT with contrast. I will have a chest and abdominal CT.  Is this typical, and I should ask for this everytime I need scans with contrast. Praying and claiming  NED result.

    Can't answer if IV hydration

    Can't answer if IV hydration is typical but hoping for NED outcome for your scans. All the best!
