[cancercured] Re: CT SCAN

I would suggest you ask your oncologist if he/she even knows how
much radiation there is in a CT scan. Most Dr's don't know, and even
less people know how much rad. they are being sujected to. It's a
massive amount.

I just wanted to forwarn you and everyone else about the amount of
radiation in a CT scan. It's over 100 times the amount of a chest x-
ray...
