Don't worry about your previous exposure.
In present day life we are exposed to so many radiation that doesn't mean we should stop going out.
And seeing your present condition it's required to make your diagnosis.
Next Steps
follow your Dr advice.

You have had quite a few exposures to radiation. Let there be one more. It will not materially increase your risk.
In the World which is so terribly polluted , we have enough exposure to X Rays without even getting an X ray done.

You need minimum of 400 exposure to have 0.35% of mutation for cancer
