[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Mammogram radiation is a known cause of cancer"?? Really? I've never heard/read that the radiation in a mammogram has been proven to cause cancer.[/quote] Have a statistician or mathematician look at the studies. My DH advised me to wait to get a mammogram and not listen to the doctors. His Mom died of breast cancer and, after looking at the numbers, he believes that aggressive use of mammograms may lead to more cancer than they prevent, if you don't have other risk factors. I've wondered if the recent announcement (last year or two) upping the age to start mammograms again has anything to do with this. News articles weren't too specific. [/quote]
