HI!
A question for the ones that use the vest. My boyfriend has an hepatic hemangioma, very small ( I think about 1-2cm). It was a casual finding when doing an ECO and CT after being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumour, very frecuent (7% of population has one), and is form by enlarge vessels. It is no important but I was wondering if it would be convenient to use the vest with one. Would the repeated beating make the hemangioma vessels bleed??. I know the risk of bleeding of a small hemangioma is almost none, but I don´t know if it could happen with the daily usu of the vest.
I am from spain, and as you know the vest is not widely use here, so I don´t know if our doctors would be able to answer this question...
If any of you have an hepatic hemangioma and are using the vest, please tell me what your doctor thinks about. Also what about those of you that have esophageal varices?. I guess if you can use it with Esoph. varices you can use it with an hemangioma too. We are thinking about buying the vest in a few months, after we have save enough money, but is so expensive, that we want to make sure he will be able to use it.
Thank you very much for your answers and sorry for the long post <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
