Sounds ok: One person cannot know if she will be the unlucky one to get cancer from the CT's. She may never get cancer despite many CT's, she may get cancer unrelated to the CT's, or she may be unlucky and get cancer from the CT's. So, one must live life in a relaxed manner, and not worry about all the possible things that can happen to unlucky people. Get a CT, MRI, or any test only when truly necessary.

No: You will be fine. That is far from an excess dose of radiation
