A member asked:
Doc wants me to get a ct scan of swollen string of nodes in my neck. have already had 4 in my life. what are my other options?

Seems like a lot : There is increasing need for young people like yourself to limit the number of CT. I would suggest that you can consider an ultrasound . Should that show anything then you can get another CT or MRI.
