“7 ct scans in a month, total of 42mSv. Did I largely increase my risk of cancer?”
My questions are, How accurate is xray risk, and did my chances of a cancer significantly increase? I have tried speaking to my primary care doctor, and have asked around with also searching online for information, but as we all know, If you google anything, it immediately tells you, that you have cancer. Everything is gloom and doom through google.
Scan dates and totals are as follows;
Oct 9 -Abd/Pel 306.3 mgy.cm (5.5-4.59 msv)
Oct 10 -Chest 231.82 mgy.cm (4.1-3.23 msv)
Oct 14 -Abd/Pel 293.08 mgy.cm (5.2-4.39 msv)
Oct 15 -Abd/Pel 564.7 mgy.cm (10.1-8.46 msv)
Oct 18 -Head 994 mgy.cm (2.1-2.08 msv)
O27th -Abd/Pel 403.4 mgy.cm (7.2-6.004 msv)
No 12 -abd/pel 423 mgy.cm ( 7.6-6.34 msv)
Any insight is greatly appreciated as I'm afraid to move forward with any additional treatments! I'm just trying to gain more knowledge, so that my decisions are the best informed moving forward.
