How well do you know your thyroid? Your thyroid plays a major role in your body by producing and releasing hormones that influence metabolism, growth and development, and body temperature. When your thyroid fails to do this properly, several symptoms and diseases can occur. According to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million American have some form of thyroid disease, but 60% of those people are unaware.

Some symptoms include: extreme fatigue, mood changes, unexplaine weight gain/loss, hair loss, lowered heat/cold tolerance, dry eyes, skin and scalp and goiters.

If you think that there may be something wrong with your thyroid, speak to your doctor. If your doctor recommends a test, like an ultrasound, ask them to refer you to Delaney Radiology, where our knowledgeable, caring staff will ensure that you are in good hands during your exam.

Our final Pink Pumpkin spotlight for October is the Front Desk Team's Delaney Support Squad.

"Celebrating Delaney's 40th Championship year, The Delaney Support Squad is excited to show-off their support for pink on the field and tackle breast cancer this October and everyday of the year. Fueled with facts, this team knows how to get the job done, spread awareness, and beat this battle, one tackle at a time."

MYTH: Using antiperspirant can cause breast cancer.

TRUTH: There is no scientific evidence linking breast cancer to deodorants and antiperspirants. Some studies have found that women who use aluminum products under their arms are more likely to have higher concentrations of aluminum in breast tissue, however, there is nothing showing that this causes breast cancer.

MYTH: If I don't have a family history of breast cancer, I won't get it.

TRUTH: Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history. However, according to breastcancer.org, 5-10% of diagnosed breast cancers are hereditary. If you have a strong family history of breast cancer, it is recommended to get checked.

Our next Pink Pumpkin spotlight for October is DIP's Team's Pink Lollipop Guild.

"The "Wizard of Oz" tells the story of a courageous young woman (Dorothy) as she is swept up in a whirlwind upon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis (Wicked Witch). The need for informed decisions (Scarecrow) and the courage to fight (Lion) while the body is impacted by various treatments (Tinman) are vital in her journey. The woman is guided by a team of healthcare providers (Glenda the Good Witch) as she travels her own Pink Brick Road to recovery. Our goal in making this display is to raise awareness and encourage women to schedule their annual screening mammograms!"
