Probably fine but...: Ionizing radiation (from X-rays and CT's) carries small risks but MRI's/saunas have no ionizing radiation. CT scans can have more than 100 times the radiation of a X-ray,but your risk is still small.A strong immune system will destroy most cancers when they're tiny;avoid GMO's/fried foods,eat organic,take a good multivit., consider medicinal mushrooms.See https://tinyurl.com/y28dfjxo and comment.
