Another reason for less scaning and no one has mentioned it here is all the toxins from the dye and radiation exposure. There have been people who had gotten another primary from too much radiation and no doubt over exposure of dyes. That is listed in my being scanned every 6 weeks, as a side effect. They list it as being a small risk but the way I see it if its a risk its something we don't need to worry about but we do. Now, I hope I haven't opened up another can or worms and now more worry had been added to this issue of not scanning more frequently. hugs, Sandy
