Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. During 2014 I completed chemo and a year of Herceptin. While undergoing this I had the usual heart scans, but two xrays of hip and back (all normal thank goodness) and a mammogram. My surgeon has offered me a full CT scan just for reassurance. Have I had too much radiation in a year? or would the group suggest I go ahead with the CT. Many thanks for all the wonderful advice and comfort you all provide.
