I suggest that you follow the doc's request for a scan or whatever - you won't get enough radiation to hurt anything - Cecily, my wife, and I have had catscans inumerable - MRI's and xrays of all sorts - I'm not saying that there is nothing wrong with us but we haven't come up with any disorder attributable to any radiation.
