Thermography

LadyTL

Has anyone had a breast thermography? Is it reliable? There is a wellness place about 5 minutes from my house that does them and I could get in today and don't need a script. It is worth doing? Can it tell between a cyst and a tumor? Is it a waste of time and money

No, it is NOT reliable, and the FDA has issued bulletins that it is NOT to be used for breast screening.It is a waste of time and money.

I agree with MelissaDallas, it is NOT reliable, NOT worth the money and should NOT be used instead of a screening (or diagnostic) mammogram!

All I've read/heard is that it is totally unreliable and just a waste of money and time (which for a few of us if vitally important!)

I used to have one at least anually. It too missed the 1.1 cm IDC. I would not spend the money.
