I have had stage III breast cancer and I don't even get checked that often. At age 18, your risk is about 1 in 1 million, so why would you bother? As you get older (about 40) you should start mammograms as recommended by your Dr. If there is a strong, close family history of breast cancer then it is usual to start mammogram/ultrasound as age appropriate at 10 years younger than the age when your immediate family member was diagnosed. The only reason to start screening at your age would be if your parent or sibling were diagnosed at age 28 or younger.

Running frequent medical diagnostics on your body is not best. The inventor of x-rays wished he had not made the machine. You see he liked looking at his wife on the machine and she died with tumors all over her body prematurely. Today we shield people from too much radiation and while ultrasound is not near as bad as x-ray it still is not best. I would recommend a yearly thermal scan over even ultrasound. It is a harmless way of discovering cancers and much better for the patient.

Research Vitamin B17 (some doctors say it's the cure for cancer!) and also, research the raw food diet!
