Not sure what has triggered this latest HA but I am having a major panic here about the number of X rays I have had over the years and whether I am going to get cancer as a result. It could be because I went for a mammogram last November as I had some concerns (I was due my routine one this year anyway) and had my first routine one 3 years ago at 52. I then started thinking about the fact that I have had two previous mammograms, one in 2010 (when I had a benign lump) and one in 2005, not to mention a chest X ray a few years ago and a couple of X rays on my bladder and kidneys back in my early thirties and teens (I had reflux in the ureters and it was damaging my kidneys, needed surgery for that). I also had a throat X ray as a child. Have also had a few teeth X rays that the dentist does when I go for check ups - does anyone else's dentist do these?? I have not had any CT scans and only a couple of MRIs (which don't use radiation) - but adding up the X rays is really freaking me out. None of this has ever bothered me previously but I can't get the thoughts out of my head now and it's making me so anxious that I am physically shaking with fear. Please, please can anyone help me? Don't want to go to the docs about this as I am always there and he is working at finding me medication that suits my anxious state, doesn't seem to be working yet!
