Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm just courious if anyone one especially the ones who have or had breast cancer had xrays in the chest or back area as a kid? I have an book on cancer that says that 75% of woman who had scoliosis as a child will end up with breast cancer because the cells are growing rapidly and then the xray can cause cell damage and trigger breast cancer 10- 20 years later. Then Doctor oz had a show on the airport scanners and his view is that they are fairly safe but would advise cancer patients, survivors and children not to get scanned for for that same reason. When I was 14, they thought I had a slight curvature of the spine so I was watched closely for a year untill they found I just had a flexible spine. I had many xrays and then got breast cancer at 38 years old. No one has had cancer in my family so I feel this is what triggered my cancer. I'm just wondering if anyone else had tons of xrays as a kid? and has no strong family history of cancer. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
