Personally Shelley, I have my 4th 3-month scan next. After that, I will go every 6 months. I can't imagine your doctor/radiologist would schedule so many as to be harmful. I suggest you ask your health care provider directly. There are some risks of course but finding another tumor quickly, I feel outweighs the risks.
I've had CT scans every 3 -6 months since November 5th, 2019. I have never questioned anything the Dr recommended. I'm a nurse and worked 32yr hospital, SNF, Dr. office. Home health care. Maybe my trust my Dr's, and I believe that Our Lord, will protect me. My journey hasn't been easy, from diagnosis to CT Scan yesterday. I'll go on my profile and update all that has happened since July 23,2023. Stay tuned 🌺🤗💜🙏🏼🤗
No significant danger to my knowledge. I get breast scans frequently too. If I had not be scanned, I would have been diagnosed too late. I will continue scans until age 90. I am 77 now, I think we don’t scan people early enough to diagnosis Stage 1………..which increases patient deaths. Michele Wilson
Hey Shelley: I know it's anxiety provoking to take CT's to check for possible changes. But, as Mike said: the benefits outweigh the risks. We can only do what we can to help ourselves. I try to remind myself to be grateful I can receive good medical care despite the risks. You take care.
I guess. Too bad there wasn't another way to monitor, though.
