A member asked:
I've had two cat scans of my brain and six of my abdomen scared of cancer risk ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not worth worrying: Cancer risk from CAT scans is miniscule, if any. I would not worry about it. Eat healthy foods and exercise daily(walks) and you can keep the cancer away!
