my co-worker just had a bad car accident yesterday morning. she called in this morning to let us know how she was feeling. she said that her doctor would like for her to get a mammogram because seatbelts may cause breast cancer. I have never heard of this in the past. is the doctor correct in letting her know this?

My mum has had cancer in the past and would like to get a full body PET scan for peace of mind but has been refused one when requested via a doctor because she is not high risk! She is willing to pay all costs, so I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

I am 18 and just got diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I know it's not a HUGE deal, but I am on Synthroid for it and on 40 mg of Adderall for ADD... but my adderall doesn't work anymore since I've had hypothyroidism! I used to just take 20mg and I would work like crazy and I couldn't go to sleep for days on it, but I tried taking 60mg and I was still tired, sluggish, and unfocused! Does anyone know why? Or if it is safe to even mix these drugs?! I am also on Zoloft for anxiety. Please help!
