Hi Annabelle, it sounds like you have a fantastic gp who is looking out for you both physically and mentally!! Too good!!! I'm absolutely sure that if there were any worries about you having the ct scan radiation wise you Dr would not recommend you going ahead with it. We can certainly be our own worst enemies when it comes to worrying so I think it is excellent you are going to get peace of mind by having this done. Of course you are scared particularly with your two little ones to take into consideration so even more reason to get this pain checked so you can get on with your treatment and focus in getting better. Sending you big hugs. Xx Cath
