Went in for my annual mammogram this week. I went because my mom at 70 was diagnosed with breast cancer. My mom's sister a few years prior to that had breast cancer also. I have heard differing views as to why or why not have the mammogram. I went because my doctor thinks I should be screened. I have heard from others these x-rays can be the cause of the cancer. I was told with the newer technology there is very minimal exposure.
I am thinking if all is well this year I may skip next year. I have been doing more naturally as far as my health and not sure I want to expose myself to the possibility of getting breast cancer from the x-ray itself.
You won't skip every year though right? You should still do it sometime
