Re: New Book Questions Mammography
Mine happened to be found by mammogram.
But "outside the box" thinking made me realize also that we sort of have a linear tendency when we have a local "recurrence" or second tumor locally, to just assume it had nothing to do with our repeated rads exposures. It makes me wonder why no one ever mentions that possibility in terms of analyzing the pro's and con's of mammography.
