Yes
Kat-in-the-Delta,
I do, Kat.
My PCP's daughter is a radiologist, and he is pretty aware of issues about radiology. Last year when I had my physical exam with him, I made a list of every radiologic procedure I'd had so far (not including dental). This was at 5 years out from diagnosis for me. I could tell right away that he wasn't aware of how much radiation I'd had -- and all of it was for a Stage I person with no recurrence. I think he was shocked.
For those diagnosed at higher stages, knowing where to draw the line on therapies is a different question, even though it is just as damaging and hazardous to them, and I can't speak to that.
You are NOT alone in thinking what you are thinking OR in feeling what you are feeling.
Sincerely,
AlaskaAngel
