There have been recent reports, news stories, that have brought attention to the Pap Smear and Mammograms. The Pap test is the wrong test for early detection of cancers. McGill University in Montreal, Canada did a press conference on the news. The proper test is from the fallopian tubes. Waiting to hear here in BC what is to be done there. Also, down in the States, shown on "The Doctors" show a test where the patient has to have a substance injected (IV) in their hand then the mammo test performed, shows a much clearer picture of the breast. The cloudiness disappears and any tumors will be revealed. That was startling. I know well enough that medical and science are not exact and that we are all guinea pigs. Both tests,the Pap and Mammogram. are still important tests to be performed even though the result maybe too late. Ask your doctor about the new discoveries.
