How often do you have mammos and CT scans?

I'm scheduled to have my bilateral mammo, plus a CT of my thorax, abdomen and pelvis next week.  I'm wondering if this is too soon for these tests again.

My last mammo (and a breast MRI) were right before my lumpectomy in Oct 2010.  I had the CT done when I changed oncs in Jan 2011.    I finished my radiation tx in April.

So it'll be only 3mo since finishing rads for the mammo, and 6 mo on the CT.  Does this sound ok? I'm scared to keep having so much radiation exposure.

Any input would be appreciated.
