I have kept my report from a mamm in 1989 and the report was good, the word calcification appears but nothing to worry about. I sometimes think this calcification issue could be from consuming too much calcium as so many are told to do. Just my thinking..at this point in my life I take hardly any calcium supps, higher doses of magnesium and other supps for bone health. The calcium push is talked about on other health groups I'm a member of.

My doctor offers to do a breast check with her hands and I let her do that. I do my own self checks often. I believe my daily iodine is positive for my breast health and banking on my years of grape seed extract for HOPEFULLY cancer prevention.

The News Health section here has a yahoo news article on mammography today.

Haven't brought this up recently and this came in today. Thought I'd post it:

All is still good with me, no mamms, iodine drops daily and keeping with quality foods. Avoiding sugars much as possible...refined carbs too.

New mammogram guidelines. Listening to a segment on my radio right now. For me, I still stand with my position on working on prevention which I've been doing for decades.

It's all personal choice of course. And as we forever hear about family history. I don't remember ever BC talked about in my early family life. My mom never had a mamm and she did pass at 91 of other issues including cancer.

Too bad we don't hear more about possible prevention on this fearful issue. There is a lot of info on this but it's not out in the public.

We've come a long way since the Old Days with all the info we can access.

Iodine Rich Foods Fight Breast Cancer

I have been supplementing with drops of Iodine for some yrs now.

Well, it's been 5 yrs since any comments here so I'll just say all is good with me and still doing what I have been doing, antioxidants and Iosol iodine and no crushing of my breasts.

Luckily, I had been going to urogynocologist( due to bladder issues) annually so I still was having annual mammograms.
A small benign looking lump was diagnosed on the back wall of left breast. Needed to return every 6 months for a memo on left breast to keep an "eye" on lump. The small lump remained the same, continued with a total of 3 times going every 6 months for to keep watch on lump.
Third mammogram, radiologist came in and said I needed to have a "needle biopsy"... I asked if lump had change; he said "yes".
The day after having Needle Biopsy, I received a call. I had been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I was over 70 yrs. old. I had surgery 2 months later. After surgery to remove lump, Surgeon said the margins looked clear. (Invasive means cancer cells had escaped from tumor). It's been 2 years since surgery. Will be getting my annual mamo in September.

Many women do not to have mammograms after 70. Luckily I did and will continue.
