        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.jTHIS IS FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE....
