"A legislative effort to nix some of these chemicals from children's toys failed last week"

That's sad but typical

Melissa, about a year and a half ago, my doctor wanted me to get checked out for some lumps she found in a routine exam. She recommended an ultrasound, I had one, and they were able to determine, pretty much immediately, that the lumps were functional and not a problem. They went away shortly after.

Maybe you can ask your doctor if ultrasound would work for you, too?

I'll be thinking of you, and I hope all goes well. Chances are very good that it's nothing to worry about. Good luck. :)

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is really timely and confusing. I just found something the other day that doesn't feel "normal". Of course, I made an appt with my gynecologist, but what if she agrees that something is out of whack and then recommends a mammogram? I guess it would make sense to get one if something might be amiss? Maybe?

I am always in awe of how well-researched your posts about medical or environmental issues are. I knew about the toys, and the lined cans, but I didn't know about mammograms. I thought women were supposed to start getting those at 40. I'll have to talk to my Doctor. Being adopted means I know nothing of my family history, so i wonder if I can hold off on the mammograms until 50. Thanks for all the great info.
