thermografie

I read about thermografy in the site thermografy.com
It's a way to detect bc in a very early stage. Even before it develops. It's expensive: around 1900 dollar a check-up, but when you don't have all the extra expenses later it can be worthwhile. And when it becomes more popular it will be less. Has somebody experience with the method or heard about it?

Re: thermografie

Yes, Maouno, I have. There is a center about 30 miles from my home here in Central Pa where it is performed. It makes sense to me. I have considered having it done. Are you going to have it performed on you?

Re: thermografie

It doesn't exist here as far I know. I only read about it, but it seems to me very preventive. Do you have it once a year in stead of mammografy or/and ultrasound?
