We all have our own unique heat patterns in our breasts and body, like a “thermal fingerprint.” These patterns should never change and will remain constant throughout our lives. Before a tumor begins to grow, it typically has to establish its own network of blood vessels to feed it. This new network of vascularity changes your own unique heat pattern. A thermogram can screen for these changes within two years of its onset. Neovascularity is the earliest sign of a growing tumor and can be seen with infrared technology 6-8 years before it can be seen by other methods.

Join us for our annual celebration of family, fun, and beer.

Free to attend! Music, Food, Steins of delicious Oktoberfest beers and games.
