Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi, As a long term lurker, I wanted to thank people for their outstanding contributions to the list. I don't have cancer but as someone who deeply distrusts mainstream medicine, I joined the list in case god forbid, I ended up a cancer statistic. I have learned alot of tips for improving my health. Anyway, I am concerned about a lump on my sternum. Due to having limited insurance, I saw a nurse practitioner a few months ago, who sent me for a mammogram. Everything was fine. Due to concern about it growing slightly, today, she referred me for a CT scan. But I am concerned about the radiation. However, is this a case where the benefits outweigh the risks? If I go this route, what questions should I ask to make sure the radiation is low as possible? Thanks! Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
