This thread was not about the PREVENTION of cancer it was about DETECTING it.

I'm not a fatalist I don't smoke, I try and eat well, I try and excercise, I try and keep a positive attitude, I breastfed. Is going to get a mammogram going to kill me, I don't think so. I would want to know if I had breastcancer. That ultra sound method you mentioned is not yet available, I'm sure when it is, people will start using that if it's proven to be safer and more effective.
Will I live to 100, I don't know. I would like to, but I'm not living like I'm going to die tommorrow either.

****This thread was not about the PREVENTION of cancer it was about DETECTING it.****

Yeah, I totally get that.
What I am saying, is the method they are using to detect cancer, is quite likely CAUSING the cancer.
And that it is unreliable at detecting cancer in women under 40. This is not something I am making up, just to annoy you.

In a Swedish study of 60,000 women, 70 percent of the detected tumors weren't tumors at all. In fact, 70 to 80 percent of all positive mammograms do not, upon biopsy, show any presence of cancer.

According to Russell L. Blaylock, MD, one estimate is that annual radiological breast exams increase the risk of breast cancer by two percent a year. So over 10 years the risk will have increased 20 percent.

These are the sad facts.
