Now that it's breast cancer awareness month, my feed is blowing up with mammogram reminders. Here's why I'm gonna do a hard pass on that and go for a thermogram instead.
❌ Mammograms emit LOTS of radiation.... which causes cancer.
❌ Mammograms are known to produce "false positives"... causing you to have additional and unnecessary mammograms & biopsies.
❌ Mammograms don't detect lumps until they're about 5-8 years old.
❌ Mammograms are uncomfortable and even painful for some and can cause traumatic breast injury.
❌ Studies have shown mammograms to be as effective as a self breast exam.
✔ Thermograms don't emit radiation.
✔ Thermograms provide early detection and are much more accurate.
✔ Thermograms don't have uncomfortable compression like mammograms.
Recap: Thermograms are more effective, comfortable and don't emit harmful radiation. And there are local places that offer this. 💪
Thanks for the reminder Dr. Veronique Desaulniers!
