Question Excessive radiation exposure

Hi Robin.

Another aspect of this that I ran into is in regard to qualifying for clinical trials and then while participating, in that more and more often they require repeated CTs. Maybe in some circumstances they are necessary, but I felt the requirements for repeated CTs were excessive.

As more and more treatment moves into early stage/NED adjuvant trials, some of this is happening with early stage NEDs who barely fell into the range for chemotherapy in the first place. I question the risk/benefit.
