The dose of radiation exposure is very less in CT scan and it hardly increases the risk of cancer ..need not to worry about that .

Hi CT scan has radioactivity of 5 to 7 mSV. Currently still less radioactive CT scans has come. So the amount of exposure is very less. But if you repeated scans over a period of time the cumulative dose will add up. With the 2 scans the  the risk of cancer is very very less and rare.
Next Steps
avoid unnecessary scans until doctor recommend
