I think it would be nearly impossible to assertain that someone's breast
cancer was caused by mammograms. I know they didn't cause mine. And
they didn't cause breast cancer in all the young women in an online
group I frequent as we were all too young for them. Radiation does
cause cancer. But will mammograms specifically give you breast cancer?
Each one of us needs to make up our own minds on that. And how much
radiation do we need to be exposed to before cancer starts specifically
from it?
And you are correct about thermography. At least, that is what my
reading says. This is why you are supposed to do them in conjuction
with mammograms. Anything suspect in a thermogram will need to be
followed up on. I do wish there was one in my city so I could check it
out.
Ultrasounds and MRIs are other options that do not use radiation.
However, sometimes ultrasounds don't see what a mammo sees. And vice
versa. And MRIs also give too many false positives. Also, some people
have trouble with the dye injected into the body for the contrast. I
insisted on an MRI and had a terrible time with getting an IV to have
the dye injected as I have small veins. That experience turned me off
from having another one. :(
