Here we go. I had a physical yesterday done by the oncologist who did my hysterectomy 11 years ago for the cervical cancer. There is a lump on the outside of my left breast. This is a new discovery as my primary care did a manual breast exam on me in June and didn't find anything, OR missed it, but she's pretty good and has always been over cautious.
My issue is this. The oncologist is insisting on a MAMMOGRAM and I want thermography. No risk, no radiation. He says he does NOT use thermography.
Any advice here? As far as I can see, he wants the mammography just to verify that there is something there, and then do a scan anyway with sound waves. Won't a thermography test show the same as a mammography?
