For over 4 years, I have had annual thermography of my breasts done by Birgitte.
The calmness she radiates, the pleasant practice environment plus her welcome extra advice on health on an internal and external level, make me feel really at ease every year!
I find this a nice way to have my breasts checked, if there is something I am on time and I don't look forward to it because you don't feel a thing
Every appointment is relaxed and informative.
It is a totally non-painful because only pictures are taken.
The final report is very comprehensive and clear.
The treatment is personalized and time is taken for you.
For me, this is a nice check to know if any changes have become visible in my breasts.
Respectful and painless!
Immediately Birgitte compares the photos with the previous check-up so you already know a bit about the state of things.
I also find the additional info on nutrition and nutritional supplements very valuable!
It is a pity that the extensive blood test is no longer possible in Joure.
A good checkup for your breasts with lots of advice.
Every year the health of my breasts is closely monitored, about a week after the examination you will receive an extensive report with the pictures and the findings.
This way you can also compare with last year, I find this very pleasant and this research gives me peace of mind.
I think thermography is a good preventative alternative to mammography.
No x-rays and no pain, not even physical contact required.
Just a few heat shots are taken of your breasts in a quiet environment with friendly personal contact, one on one.
I have experienced the mammography 3 times, then I went looking for a painless alternative and the idea/feeling of getting X-rays all the time, literally bothered me, especially since it is a preventive examination.
That's when I came to thermography.
The fact that the thermal images can detect changing/growing cells because there is more nutrition, so more capillaries growing there which in turn means more heat, I find a convincing fact for myself to keep doing this preventive method as an alternative to mammography.
It is absolutely no guarantee that I will be able to prevent breast cancer, but it is a method that can reveal changes early on, without x-rays and without the pain of having your breasts squashed in the machine.
Unfortunately, the consultation is no longer covered by my health insurance.
I am willing to do this annually because breast cancer is common and therefore doing nothing is not an option.
Breast thermography is a safe and pleasant way of identifying whether there are abnormalities in the breasts and/or an increased risk of long-term breast disease.
Self-examination is often superficial and a mammogram does not reveal problems until much later.
Very nice to experience all that security now and have regular check-ups with Birgitte.
My experience is only positive.
I'm quite a bit of a prude, but Birgitte is such a warm, fun person that I immediately felt at ease and took off my clothes without any problems 😉 .
I recommend every woman to make an appointment. Do it!
I do it because I have a lot of connective tissue.
Find this a pleasant way.
I don't want to put my head in the sand by not having anything checked, for me a good solution
Thermography came my way after I had breast cancer.
It is a very nice way for me to get my breasts checked.
Birgitte gives tips with full attention & knowledge to keep the breasts as healthy as possible and hooks up well with my story.
After the thermography, I have the surgeon examine my breasts manually and then an ultrasound completes the examination.
I personally really enjoy not following rigid protocols but from multiple disciplines to live my health as optimally as possible.
My homeopath also plays a very big role in this.
I heartily recommend Birgitte to you.
It was nice that during the intake at the first visit, ample time was taken to provide information about thermography beforehand.
Also by showing images in relation to the differences in method and type of information to be obtained between thermography, ultrasound and X-ray.
There was also ample time to ask your own questions, a relaxed schedule....
Thermography is only a reflection of breast physiology and as such is not a substitute for mammography.
Annual clinical examination of the breasts and periodic evaluation by other objective tests is recommended for comprehensive screening for breast cancer and to assess the structural component of breast tissue.
