Here in France, it also led to numerous stupid comments on people's pages.

I meant that tests in general, even getting cat scans on a regular basis, exposes one to radiation. What to do?

(Re the controversy, the doctors here in Israel are not planning to change their recommendations due to the recent report, nor is the nurse practicioner at the medical practice I spoke to in the US - ok, my mom ;).)<br /><br />Still, the best way of all are those regular self-exams. We know our bodies best of all.
