Does anyone other than me and a few other people think that mammograms may cause breast cancer? |
I have had mammograms about 15 times or more. Every once in a while they say they are abnormal... My problem is with the radiation..no matter how small..the pain of the vices squeezing your breasts to death..the pain..Isn't it possible that the mammograms themselves could cause breast cancer??? It doesn't run in my family..I have five children...breastfed all of them..eat pretty good...WHY Do I EVEN NEED ONE..If I were to get breast cancer I would most likely think the mammogram caused it... Yes, regular mammograms throughout a lifetime *can* cause cancer (it's an x-ray, and the radiation *can* do nasty things to cells sometimes)... but the risk is so tiny in comparison to the risk of leaving natural cancers undetected that there's no point whatsoever to avoiding mammograms for that reason. No I don't think that would be a cause.Every women in my family even two men got breast cancer.My mother is on her fourth surgery.But somehow my Aunt never had it.And usually in my family it starts showing up by 26 yrs old and I still don't have it.Sometimes it could be in your family from many generations before you one single person could have had it.You never truly know.You can only really know what your odds are to get it. It's the best way to detect cancer early. The benefits outweigh the risks. If you wait until you notice a lump, and it's an aggressive tumour, you're toast. Well it could be a possibility but I like to stick with this mind set. Where did you come up with this bizarre idea? There is no scientific evident of anything like this. If they did then they would not be done, obviously. Oh yea. You're one of a few. |
