Hi all,
I have a particular worry and hoped you could provide some rational advice as doctors/radiologists/experts/fellow worriers, and it will stop me scouring the internet for all sorts of answers.
I had a CT scan of my head done in 2006 (when I was 31), and another in 2009 (when I was 35) - both were needless in hindsight. Late last year, some reports came out about the risk of radiation-induced cancer being higher than originally thought. This, of course, has set off a fixation chain of events in my mind, and at times I'm convinced that I've done myself irreparable damage and am doomed to have a horrible cancer as a result.
Anyway, could you possibly give me an idea of the dose of radiation I would've received and an idea of the *actual* risk?
I'm just after some peace of mind.
Thanks,
Jamie
