    I think you will be ok, so many things are said that can cause cancer which people do in every day life that it is best to try and ignore what they say will increase the chances. 3 ct scans is not many, try not to worry, I know it's hard

    You won't get cancer from the dose of radiation your given from CTS or XRays, even repeated doses, if there was a danger they wouldn't give it to you in the first place Carolina. Hope that puts your mind at ease.

    I totally know how you feel! Back in June I fainted, and ended up in ER. Within 2 days of my hospital stay I had 3 CT scans. Brain, throat, and sinus...all came out clear, but after I got so worried about cancer.  Even all these teeth xrays, and month after a memogram.  But radiation is all around us. I heard even the sun exposure.  Everything will be ok.
