Patrice Aminati Details PET‑MRT Visit as Scarred Veins Hinder IV Access

The 30-year-old, in palliative care for stage-four melanoma, posts candid notes from the radiology ward.

Overview

  • She reported undergoing a PET‑MRT this week to closely track the spread of her melanoma.
  • After three years of treatment, veins in her arm are scarred and sluggish, so staff secured access on the third attempt in her hand.
  • She explained that fasting is required before and during the scan and celebrated finishing the long procedure with a simple raisin roll and butter.
  • Her updates praised the medical team and highlighted a radiology doctor's humor that helped ease a demanding day.
  • Between hospital visits she shared family moments such as baking with her daughter, and she has maintained public visibility with recent charity appearances.
