[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 697306, member: 4152"] I too am glad you are getting it checked out via mammogram. I'm glad the doctor took you seriously. As a side note: I've read about mammograms exposing the breast to a small amount of radiation. If one gets a mammogram yearly from age thirty onward, by age fifty, perhaps this is a lot of radiation. So, what I'm doing is having Thermagraphy one or two years, then a mammo. Each place keeps my records. There is no radiation with Thermagraphy. If the Thermagraphy showed any changes or concerns, I would immediately get a mammogram. If I had a lump, I would immediately get a mammogram. I'm getting a test of some kind every year, but a mammogram only every two to three years. For me, it's all about being safe and reducing all around radiation exposure. Regular docs generally are not crazy about this idea, but I had one doctor under her breath whisper "it's brilliant,". She wasn't sure I heard her...but I did. It's a somewhat controversial and unique plan, although to my surprise I heard of a functional oncologist who is recommending this as well. [/QUOTE]
