Additionally - today on the MSNBC an interesting article about the change in recommendations

As always - its going to be your choice– but don’t forget you need a baseline at some point
and its very important if you have a higher than normal RISK.

Thermography helps to determine those at RISK for breast cancer. Along with your
physical and family history - your thermogram can provide insight into your
breast health.  A thermogram and a baseline structural study are a combination
to think about if you have concerns.  Thermography is a non-contact, non-invasive way
to monitor breast health. Its ideal for all women — all ages. Especially young women with
dense breast tissue.

If you have questions - let me know.
Keep “thinking thermally”, as my friends at Snell Infrared say.
