What's the real deal with Xrays. Trully dangerous?

[quietGuy13]

I had about 3 or 4 xrays done on me this year.

 

Had like 2 last year. ANd the previous year some more ,and the previous years some more.

 

I have alot of health problems so they always have had to check me.

 

 

I've read books about carcinogens and Xrays and the book i was reading today was about Radioactive stuff and xrays and it said xray damage accumulates and it kills not only the bad cells but also the good ones.

 

And that in japan, where they use alot of xraying, many people get cancer.

 

So am I doomed to a future with cancer?

 

I've been getting xrays since i was alitle kid due to accidents and broken limbs etc

No, you are not doomed to a death suffering from cancer. You are getting far more radiation from radon gas and from the sun, especially if you live in a higher altitude.

 

Your doctors will only order x-rays that they believe are necessary; they keep up with your medical records and know what the risks are.
