Hi I’ve been 7 years almost since dx (grade 2, stage 2 invasive, wle, surgery, chemo rads). I’ve been having yearly mammograms but recently I keep reading more and more about the dangers of mammogram and how they can cause more problems than resolve. I am now contemplating going for thermal imaging scans instead of mammogram but would love to hear from anyone who’s also gone down this route or is considering it. It is a scary prospect, going off the recommended plan of action, but at same time I am thinking that all that radiation can’t be good and thermal imaging picks up changes in the breast much earlier than mammogram can anyway. Any advice, comments, would be really appreciated to help me make my decision. Thank you. Carrie
