Do you have FULL BODY CT scans every 6 months to check for recurrence of your kidney cancer?

No. I get chest, abdomen and pelvic.. close enough, I wager. So at least my head and legs are safe? Or is the amount of radiation increased by the % of your body that is scanned?

Regardless, I won't be worrying too much unless I see more proof of this. Still, I thought it ironic that the scans I am told to have done by my oncologist to make sure I don't have cancer (recurring) could be giving me cancer.
