Re: [cancercured] Re: Arlyn's Thermography Adventure

Hi Cathy,

How do you feel your thermograms are as far as showing accurate
information? Thanks for that website!

That's correct, not all DCIS will show up on a mammogram. The digital
ones are far more accurate. Which, by the way, is why DCIS diagnosis is
on the rise. Which is also why there is so much DCIS controversy -
treat or not to treat.
