Jim, so glad that your wife is a 9 year cancer survivor. Although mammograms sometimes find cancer, the thing is that the risks far outweigh the benefits. The vast amount of radiation received by the body for one. It paves the way for future cancers. Then, sometimes the pressure inflicted on the breast by what I call the "vices" has sometimes ruptured the tumor and caused cancer cells to travel throughout the body. Then, there are false positives and false negatives, that you don't hear about. So mammograms are very controversial. I would not go near one with a 10 foot pole, but that's me.
In the end though, mammograms, chemotherapy, radiation, etc. is all a personal decision. There are natural ways to prevent and heal cancer, but it does take living a "squeaky clean" lifestyle. If I may ask, is your wife now cancer free, or is cancer still present. And I ask this because many people are considered survivors who still have cancer in their bodies.
Thank you for emailing the article to her. By the way, on our website, we have many articles on how to address cancer naturally.
Blessings to you, Luella |
