    I can relate with you on your concern of the amount of x-ray radiation you have had.



    3: CT scans of neck

    2: CT scans of chest

    2: CT scans of abdomen

    2: CT scans of pelvic

    -Barium Swallow exam

    and can't count how many chest x-rays

    all of the ct scans and barium swallow were all after I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but I wonder if the amount of chest x-rays I may have done was the cause of my thyroid cancer.....hmmm. I'm concerned now that I have something else goin on with me, and not to forget the radioactive iodine I had to take for my cancer, Dr. says it raises my chances slightly of get lymphoma. Oh, and just FYI, MRIs do not use radiation.
