>>>Can I have a shower after xray???<<<Can it cause cancer???

[johnyy]

So i had an xray of lungs and also of head breathing organs...
Now:Can it cause cancer???
And because im worried : Should i take a shower or will the cells absorb water and can it harm them because they are radioactive???
Also is it ok to take lot of vitamin c? Or try stuff to clean the radiation?
Also I think i have red marks on my body !! I don´t feel to good... Will I die?!
And the xray thing smelled bad! My body smells like that now too!(So i think im going to shower it off)

I have had loads of X rays all over and not worried about it. The radiation is minimal and you will be fine. Yes you can have a shower it won't affect you at all. Vitamin C...if you take a lot it will probably just give you the runs and it is not necessary to take it. They wouldn't do x rays if it put you in that much danger. It is nothing to worry about.

Thanks, but I also wrote here before about a tumor thing I had on my neck (i still have it today) but yesterday it started to hurt even when I showered myself! The water that touched it there was little uncomfortable. Now I wasn´t xray for this (for other thing) but if it is a cancer-this could worsen it or no?

No it wouldn't worsen it, you are probably focusing on it more which will make it more sensitive.
