We are all in our places in life and what we do for our health, and I'm thrilled I was at the right place in 1995 to hear the words "may prevent cancers"...and that was at a Pycnogenol lecture in Orange Cty...and I've been taking it or Grape Seed Ex for 25 yrs.
Glad you found what worked in your situation. |

One can always choose other types of screening procedures. They're better than no type of physical screening.
e.g. Self examination of the breasts and axilla regions is extremely important for early detection of breast cancer in both men and women. A regular Clinical Breast Examination by either a General Practitioner or the practice nurse. Quote:

Gerry,
I'm sorry for what you had to deal with, especially in this awful year. I hope you're still doing well now. ________________________ Quote:

It can sometimes be down to days or a couple of weeks. It's not really about finding what works in those situations. If it's a matter of urgency one does what one has to do to survive. |

Its startling to find this thread. I just noticed the other night I have a area in one of my breasts that is very tender to the touch. I'm only 39 but had a mammogram and a few ultrasounds done over the years after a breast examination by my obgyn noticed I had a lump in my breasts and sent me for a breast ultrasound and mammogram. It shows I have cysts in both breasts and needs to be monitored every year.
I have not had a ultrasound or mammogram in well over 5 years. Now, I'm a little worried and have not told my hubby about the soreness I feel where a cyst is located at. |

I was diagnosed with the cysts in my early 20s. I was getting a mammogram or breast ultrasound done every couple of years. I stopped getting it done over the last 5-7 years now. I felt like it was a waste of money. I will be turning 40 in a few months so then I know it will be recommended for screening. My daughter is a nurse for a obgyn. If I don't have it checked she will worry as she is a worry wart and may try and drag me to her doctor. Thank you for sharing the information. I will check into it. |

Diamond Tiger,
A couple of years back, my daughter had a small tender area that was concerning her and it turned out to be just fine. The GP did send her for an ultrasound but it was a small breast cyst and they apparently can get bigger and more tender before period and then go down again after. I think that there are a number of different types of lumps or harder areas and they're really common and certainly not breast cancer. Personally, I'd get it checked for peace of mind though, just to be sure. take care there. |

D T, do some research on Iodine and breast health, it could be amazing for you with even 1 drop of iodine daily....and if you want to get Iodine Levels checked, it's a big deficiency in our population, not in Japan...
When I've missed my daily "drop" I can end up with pain and tenderness, I do not miss it as I know my body....and I don't get a huge seafood amount of foods.... I try to but it's not easy to get adequate seafoods... |
