Usha THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENS...ONCE...IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE!

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.
