Just my two cents worth on the subject here, speaking as a survivor of
breast cancer, and also as person who has switched to thermograms from
mammograms.
The doctor who wrote my thermogram report stated unequivocally that a
suspicious spot on a thermogram will need to be followed up for
verification of its status by one of the usual methods -- biopsy,
mammogram, sonogram, etc. They do a great job of initial screening, and
in a non-invasive, non painful and radiation free manner, but they are the
first line of defense against cancer, not the single solution. My cancer
came late in life, but I had a long history of cysts, most fluid filled
which yielded an instant "cure" by needle aspiration, but one which was
removed surgically and was benign. That made me optimistic that the
suspicious spot found on a routine mammogram would be just another one of
the harmless kind. WRONG! Thankfully, relatively "minor" interventions
allow me to be talking about it more than nine years later (lumpectomy and
radiation, followed by Tamoxifen. No mastectomy and no chemo! I am a
collector of alternative means of dealing with cancer from here on out,
however.) My concern for you, Wendy, is that breast cancers in younger
women often are notoriously more aggressive than those found in most post
menopausal patients. I hope you will go and find out for sure that your
lump is non-cancerous first, and THEN cast about for supplements,
treatments, massage, and other means to deal with it. Your lump probably
is non-cancerous -- the great majority of them are, but finding out for
sure is certainly a wonderful relief.
Good luck, and God bless!
