    Re: Multiple Ct SCANS AT 27

    But you do not have cancer or leukaemia do you? You are just worried about x ray scans causing it loads of people probably millions around the world have x rays everyday how many cases do you see where they say x rays caused cancer?

    You are worrying unnecessarily and as such you will be making yourself ill,why not have a chat with the radiologist next time you go to put your mind at rest.?

    As i have said i have had many many oral x rays since 1979 and am okay so will you be.

    And by the way i am alergic to penicillin too so its not that unusual.

    still itchy and head pains hopefully that is normal 3 days after stopping the penicillin, had no blast cells in my cbc and platelets were 133 now up from 127 so I am assuming all my symptoms are not related to cancer right?

Tell me, if it were that detrimental, why would they have treated me? What about the poison (chemo) they pumped into me once a week?

    I'm still here. You will be too... for a long time. There are no documented cases of cancer where it was definitively determined that previous testing caused it.

    Hi Fishmanpa, I read your posts a lot before I joined here, and it really helped me to calm down (I only had 1 CT scan), and congratulations on your winning defeating the cancer.

    I just want to make myself more assured (I have ocd), as I read cancer takes time like years, perhaps even up to 20 years, could you tell me when was the last time you were exposed to those radiation devices? thanks in advance.

    Most recent was about two months ago for a CT scan. I had a PET scan about 6 months after treatment (Sept. 2013). I also recently had a nuclear stress test for my heart (a month ago) where they inject radioactive dye and then do a CT scan to see what's going on. Other than glowing a bit in the dark, I'm fine

    Only had one CT scan, but plenty of MRIs scan and not because of my health anxiety I have a condition where I have brain scans every couple of years to check my module, lump, spot whatever it is (non cancerous) cannot be removed as it will kill me or put in a wheel chair.

    I had major health anxiety which led me to make these foolish decisions but I wont be having any more scans, the total exposure was almost 100 msv, any chance I will get lukemia from it?

I have groin nodes neck nodes sticking out too. All my cbc says is the platelets went up a few. How would I know if it was cancer from the scans? Had a massive breakdown last october which lead to all those scans I never had HA before. COULD those scans have caused leukaemia in me. How do I find out, what is the most accurate test
    I am with you and I feel like I have given myself luekemia..I just hope it won't show up right away. I feel so foolish as I could just gotten an MRI instead.

    Hi Ananya I have already given you my thoughts I cant not keep reassuring you as it keeps the HA Cycle going. and doesn't help you! What I will say again it's your HA convincing you are seriously ill or will be with lukemia It's your HA that needs looking at. ATB
