i am reading so many online articles about the dangers of mammograms and how they alter the cellular structure of the breast and in and of itself could make you more prone to breast cancer. many articles states the medical association won't agree with this as they get paid to encourage these tests, etc. i am having my first mammogram and i am very apprehensive about this. there have been studies that state that the incidences of breast cancer have not been lessened due to mammograms...i need the truth..
