A member asked:
I (23, f) got a ct ordered on my head and neck after a car accident. i'm terrified they are going to find something really bad like cancer, a tumor, an aneurysm, etc. how rare/unlikely would that be? my recent cbc test was perfect and no symptoms?

At your age, it is very unlikely that you have any of these serious conditions. They are found but still rare in older people. You might consider trying some type of relaxing meditation to calm your anxiety.
