My Oncologist wants me to have a CT scan. I prefer not to do anymore radiation type test. Does anyone know of something different that can give her the same results?

  Depends on your symptoms and what the onc is looking for. MRI might be an alternative, or a bone scan.

  Thatgirl, I hope any further tests show it's something innocuous.

  Best of luck.
