Read and heard a lot on ct scans. just had a chest ct doing follow up in 12 months. how bad are they for you if at all. how many would be bad for you?

CT scans how bad?: I would discuss with your team who did the scan as they will know exactly how much radiation you got and can get you better advice. All X-rays seem to increase the risk of cancer as does standing in the sun.
