It's as well to remember that conventional medicine sometimes works, and that 
alternative medicine sometimes fails.
In radiotherapy there is some controversy about whether taking antioxidants 
will reduce the cancer-killing effects of the radiation. In your case it seems 
to have worked extremely well!

    It's hard to balance harm against benefit in screening tests like this.
    That's why I think it's a shame that thermography isn't in wider use.

  I agree that thermography sounds like a vastly better program.  Perhaps it is 
because all these hospitals have lots of mammogram machines in use and don't 
want to lose their investment by just tossing them out???

  I also agree that taking antioxidants should be beneficial for the duration 
of radiation treatments taken for cancer, too, as well as before and after.  I 
had read that wheat grass juice is a powerful protection against radiation 
sickness, so I drank quantities of it during my radiation treatments (7 weeks). 
 In fact, though the local juice bar sells it for a buck a shot, I grew flats 
of the grass myself, cut it, squeezed it, and mixed ithe juice with Snappy Tom 
tomato juice to cover the strong taste, and drank it fresh several times a day 
during my radiation treatments, and well beyond, because it gave me great 
energy.  I never had a single side effect of radiation, either -- went and took 
my treatments after working all day, suffered no burns nor fatigue nor nausea.  
I don't know if it was because of the wheat grass and broccoli I consumed in 
great amounts, or because my treatments were mild, but I am sure the greens 
didn't hurt!!  I took the treatments with some trepidation because of all I had 
heard about X rays causing more cancer, too -- so far, so good, 7 and 1/2 years 
later!
