I just read something really scary!

quote:
Now consider the fact that
the routine practice of taking four films of each breast annually
results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, which is about
1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray.

OMG! It takes between 8 and 16 films to do mine.
I freaking hate doctors.

I dont know if I wanted to hear that or not, truth isnt always easy I guess...this week I have to go in to get a mammogram, because there is something questionable in my left breast. I am alittle worried but trying to stay positive just the same
