Challenge to mammography screening before 50.

The American College of Physicians
noticed that all those mammograms in younger women may not be a
good idea. This article doesn't mention the downsides like
compression possibly rupturing tumor capsules or high radiation
exposure from mammograms (which increase the risk of breast cancer, particularly in
women at high risk). They did also admit that mammograms cannot prevent most
breast cancer deaths. So, the final recommendation is that women 40-49 should discuss it
with their doctors. If only more doctors knew about alternatives
like thermography.
Thermography web site up!

After a month of tinkering and slaving
away, I finally have a workable website for Ann Arbor Thermography. Please stop by http://aathermography.com and check it out. There's a
contact page there where you can tell me what you
think. I also have 2 other domain names that point to the same
place: http://a2thermography.com and http://annarborthermography.com. Use whichever is easiest for
you.
Thermography is here!

Last weekend we went out to pick up and
get trained on our new thermography equipment. I was floored by how
sensitive it can be. I now have all the equipment up and running,
so you can call and set up your appointments. We'll start only
doing thermography on Fridays until we need to add more days. The
number to call for thermography is 734-332-6290, which is still
answered by the same people and you'll still come to the same
office.
If you're wondering what screening thermography can do, it is a great way to do non-invasive breast cancer screening (more info here) (preferably in addition to mammography, but also for people who don't tolerate mammography or for whom mammography otherwise isn't a good idea), find the source of pain and look for other irregularities. You can learn more here (yes, it's in New Zealand, but it's a great compendium of quality information) until I get my own information pages set up.
