Thyroid Cancer & X-rays

We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our
female friends!!  I just did, now you send it on to your list.
Recently, 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? Someone was
nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on to your
friends and family.

When I had my dental x-rays, the dentist used a small gun put close to my jaw and take  shots.  There is nothing to cover.  It is so close like 2-3 inches gap.
