It really confuses me that it is not widely used in USA and has to be FDA approved but I did a little google and came up with this - https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf13/K130040.pdf - apparently as it is not a oral drug to take it does not have to be FDA approved but has been approved by the Health Authorities to be sold in pharmacies, maybe let your friend know and to tell her radiologist to do a little more research in her field, yes I sound angry as some Drs. don't do enough research and we the BC patients come across so many things on the net that the Drs have no idea about.
Thank you for the link. I agree, not all dr's have the time or care to put in the effort to investigate things if it isn't part of the daily ritual for them. Too many patients too little time. I will forward the link to her. She did say she was going to enquire with other Radiology departments too.
