Thank you Alta skier

I just completed full treatment for cancer with abdominal radiation. I am an avid international flier. I just wonder now that I have had my lifetime doseage of radiation how much this old middle aged body will take. I also spent time one year living at 8,472 ft (in Alta! skiing) in my younger years. So how does that figure in? I don't know but I will still be flying half way around the world in 6 months. I guess I will take my chances. Great subject.
