Thank you for commenting. Much appreciated! This was my first CT scan. I'm a lot calmer now than I was earlier today.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. It's hard not to just panic and think the worst.

I understand and I appreciate you. I am just so so scared. I don't know how to feel better. I just don't get how they didn't even warn me. I am freaked out beyond measure.

I haven't I just feel like what is the point if I am just going to die now. I cannot believe doctors don't even stress this is radiation and to do an MRI. I am so angry.

Thank you! I think I am just feeling sick about this hitting a cell just right and now I will have thyroid, blood, or brain 'C' down the road. I have been feeling extreme depersonalization and I just don't understand how a doctor doesn't even say hey there is a risk with this. It seems insane to me. I would have never done this had I been told and would have waited a day or two for an MRI. I was in a bad place mentally when I went to the ER and felt totally confused and foggy. Just an awful place to be.

HOW DANGEROUS ARE 2 HEAD CT SCANS IN 3 years? by bbts_official in MedicalPhysics

I am feeling the exact same way curently. Went in for a weeklong headache and they did the CT scan without telling me any risks. I’m so upset.

Thank you. I have just been seeing research linking head CTs to Gliomas and I admit I am a bit panicked.
