My 55 year old son has prostate cancer & needs a bone scan done & was told the dye that they use is on back order & nobody seems to have it so he can not get the test done. I find this highly unacceptable in this day & age, so what do you suggest. We live in New Jersey.
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor If the dye needed for the scan is not available in his area, you can consider asking his doctor for a referral to another center. In addition, you can also consider asking your doctor for the name of the center that produces or distributes the dye to call them to find out when it would be available or what are the other options. I hope this helps
