DCIS is detectable with mammography. The digital mammograms are very
good at picking it up. Whether or not mammography is safe, I would
rather have my DCIS caught before it becomes invasive than waiting until
after.
When I was dx with Breast Cancer, I had IDC and DCIS. The DCIS was not
picked up on the mammogram or the ultrasound. The surgeon found it
during surgery and lucky for me, it was right next to the other tumor.
So mamography's do not always pick up DCIS. Now with the new digital
mammograms it might be better but who knows.
Good luck with your Thermography. I have had a few of them since my dx.
Look around and see if you can find other places near you that does
them. I have been to two of them and both of the people doing them were
very good and knowledgable about breast cancer issues.
Here is one site I found very informative on Thermographies.
