leading to cancer

Hello,
I really need someones help. I have so many symptoms that range from bone pain to swollen nodes (neck, above clavicle, and behind ear). Also knots in my neck that the dr didn't know what it was. I thought I had a systemic candida infection because I have so many issues.  I have been dealing tith this for almost a year. Anxiety, nerve and tingling in body, muscle twitch and pain, muscle loss (or so it seems), hair falling out, skin rashes, and multiple infections (throat, sinus, eye, mouth).  Most drs say that it sounds like mult myeloma cancer. Ive also had many ct scans, mri, and xrays.  All for different symtpoms but mostly chest pains and neurological.  I am worried about getting another catscan tomorrow...this time on my throat and supra clavicle. Can anyone help with this? What are the chances of getting cancer from radiation...or is getting the scan more important?  I am just so scared of getting another one after about 6 within the last year. Please help me on deciding?

Dear Ashley

Your chances of getting cancer from radiation from the cat-scan
is very small....please get your scan .  I am a strong Christain after
being healed from Two Breast Lumps in 2007....dont forget prayer
little girl.....the Power of Prayer really works.

Ironically, that is what I used to think. But after seeing a rheumatologist she never diagnosed me with that.  I've also learned that many rheummy's don't acknowledge fibro as a true disease.  Another worry factor for me is the paraprotein that's in my blood.  I have a lot of symptoms that scare me!  I am seeing a hematologist/oncologist but she wants me to get another ct scan of my supra clavicle. Really worried about that, and thinking about not doing it.
