Breast Thermography website

[Vicki]

A friend from Tucson, AZ, who is an acupuncturist, sent me the following note about a breast thermography she recently had, so I'm sending it along in case any of you may be interested in hearing more about it.

Happy Holidays to each and every one of you and I wish you the VERY BEST in 2007!

My friend's note: I don't know if I told you, Vix, but I had a breast thermography done which was quite a cool experience. The woman technician was very efficient and information, and I received my 6-scan color photos within a couple days. Thermography establishes a baseline and is an early indicator of abnormalities, and then you have follow-up scans done in 3 months. Check out: http://www.breastthermography.com/. Also check out peace-of-mind scans that I'm interested in: http://www.pomscan.com/

Not that I would have any use for this procedure since my bilateral mastectomy, but I'm wondering if your health insurance would pay for it. I know that health insurance won't pay for screening MRIs, so it would interesting to see if they would pay for this procedure. The experts say that before breast cancer is actually detected that it has probably been there for about 5 years. With this procedure you'd know way before it would show up on a mammogram.

Nice to see a screening mechanism that does not involve radiation. It is also interesting that it can detect hormonal imbalance in the breast. I wonder how it would work for those of us on AI's? Thanks for the post, Vicki.
