Radiation cancer?

I'm a 25 year old female and had a whole body ct scan which included a calcium scoring. It's a long story why but, have I had too much radiation? Will i get cancer in the future. Please be honest i'm a little worried.

Trust me, don't worry.  You got ONE body CT correct?  You should not worry about getting cancer from that.  With all the chemicals we eat and breathe I would be more worried about that causing a problem before this one body CT scan.
