Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Hi there: My father had a shoe store, & when my sister & I were growing up, the xray machine was our toy at the the store. We would take turns looking at each others feet. She had breat cancer (she's a survivor) about 12 yrs. ago, & we wonder if that xray machine could have caused it.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Aletta, A lot of general practioners used to have x-ray machines in their offices too. My mother was the office nurse for a local doctor who had an x-ray room in his practice 25-30 years ago and she was the x-ray technician designee. She developed cervical cancer at 40 and breast cancer a few years later. She survived both and is still going strong at 76. I always wondered though if the x-ray exposure which was then much less regulated could have contributed to either cancer.
