Congrats on surviving AML.
I have a few oncologist friends. I think that their point of view is that once you go to see them, getting a CT or 50 is the least of your problems. So, if they even think there is something wrong, you're getting a CT. The risk of having a problem now is much worse than the remote risk of something else going wrong in the future. If you survive this bout, who cares about the extra radiation exposure.
Being able to worry about that later is a good problem to have.
- 97s 13y agoThat's exactly how I feel. CT sure sign me up. Ive had so much chemo therapy and radiation xrays and scans that I am sure my lifespan is shortened a lot. However I am alive 6 more years than I should have been, and I have a son and a wife that I would have never experienced.
