Hi Fellow Cuties I received this from my DIL in Sydney Australie. Thought I let you all know:

Subject: FW: Thyroid Cancer
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:58:21 -0700
On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in
women,
thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned
that
the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays
and
mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on
you for
your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and
wrapped
around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there
is
something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms.f
By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a
little
silly, but I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician
had one
in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't
know.
You have to ask for it." Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how
would I have
known to ask?
We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all
our
female friends and husbands tell your wives!! .

Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this
on
to your friends and family.
