Hello Survivors! Just wondering...I am 2 years post TX and am just wondering how often will these CT scans will be ordered? I get one every 6 months. My next one is on 8/12/10.

I feel secure from the information that the CT gives, but cringe that I am still receiving so much radiation per CT.

Could cancer come back from receiving CT scans over time? On the last visit to my oncologist & mentioned this concern, she stated that the CT's give the best image needed to rule out any problems. How do I argue with that? !


BOT T3N2M0 No surgery, 38radiation treatments,4 chemo rounds, peg removed 11/08, still have a port. Treatments ended 6/20/08. So far, so Good ! "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much !"
