Im dont know what an afe is, but ive never heard of cat scans increasing the risk of cancer. That doesnt mean it doesnt. I just havent heard that it will. I hope not as ive had 3 at this point.
If your british, maybe your doc is trying to cut down on national health services spending? idk, im going to go lay down.

Owen, i'm Scottish. I speak English aswell. lol.
"afe" was a typing error, I meant age! My mistake.
I've been looking on the net about the cancer thing, there is a small risk although the advantages of CT scans far outweigh the disadvantages.
It was an emergency doctor I saw that told me the risk is higher in my age group (I was 19 at the time). Although I haven't been able to find further information on this. And a radiologist told me risj was minimal.
I very much doubt that the doctor was trying to cut down on NHS costs.lol. As she suggested for me to have a MRI done instead, I think that they are more expensive. Spending doesn't affect the doctor as they still get their pay either way.
I've had the CT scan done since the last post.
Wasn't trying to alarm anyone sharing what I was told.
All the best.
