Aries, you know what? I'd not even considered that angle! I just had the testing in October, so haven't done more than one yet anyway. I will surely be researching that a bit, and THANKS Louis, I will definitely be asking my primary if the thermography stuff is a viable option. I know my mother figured out during her treatment for BC that it wasn't a good tool for her as her tissue is too dense, I think she said?
At any rate, that is all stuff I hadn't even thought about. Thanks for kicking my damn brain into gear.

i don't think thermography is as reliable as mammos, that's why they are seldom recommended.
All tests, mammos, ultrasounds, and MRIs are helpful. But I fear that people are putting too much emphasis on testing and have stopped doing self exams which is how I discovered my own cancer.

I vaguely remember a story on NPR a few years back about mammos, and some new recommendation that they not be performed as frequently in younger women (under 50) because they didn't improve success rates. It was a controversial position with a lively debate on NPR. They did say the focus should be on self exams.
Then the story went away. I think everyone ignored it.
Thermography is not covered by insurance, typically. The difference in thermography is that it detects heat and blood flow. In the beginning stages, or anytime really, there is abnormal blood flow to feed the tumor. In doing the scan, it could detect the abnormal blood flow to warrant further testing. I'm not saying it's more reliable than mammograms.
Thermography costs generally start at about $300, and can go up, depending on how much of your body you want scanned.

But not at breast cancers are tumors.

HA lol, but ariesal lover has a nice ring to it lol.
I have also been reading about calcium supplements building up in the body, specifically soft tissue, like breast tissue. In my big 2007 scare, the doc specifically said that they would also look for calcifications.
