[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL has never had a mammogram, colonoscopy or bone density test even though we have encouraged her to do so. It blows my mind. You can lead a horse to water.... but in the end we'll be dealing with a sick horse.[/quote] If she made it past the 40s/50s/60s without cancer, it probably doesn’t matter. You generally stop having these screening tests after 70 or so. Everyone dies of something, and if it’s breast cancer in your 80s, it is what it is. [/quote] Not true. The cutoff age for most standard screenings is more like 80. I should know because I'm 78 and still getting them. [/quote]
