Very unlikely: There is no significant risk of developing Cancer just because of getting 2 CT scans.

Not from CT: The amount of radiation you received is not likely to materially increase your risk of cancer. CT scans are important diagnostic tools and usually the benefit of the procedure far outweighs the risk.

Radiation & CA: Radiation can cause cancer but that was a very low dose. The chance you would get cancer from Two CTs is next to zero. Do try to limit the number of xrays you get over your lifetime. Other things like smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, hormone replacement, chewing tobacco and so on...are the things to really consider when you are looking at causes of CA.
