Dear Readers,
As we all know, CANCER is a very dangerous and life threatening disease. We need to take lots of precautions and get as much information as we can to keep ourselves safe from the disease. We need to remember that 'Precaution is better than cure'. I received this message from one of my colleague at work. It was very nice of her to remember me. I am pretty sure, most of the readers would be females and even if there are mens reading this, it would be very nice if you could pass the message to all of your female family and friends.
Emailed received from colleague
Thyroid
cancer
On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little silly, but I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it." Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask? We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our female friends and husbands tell your wives !! I just did, now you send it on to your list. Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on to your friends and family.
