[quote=Anonymous]I got them every year and now that I’m 50 and officially in menopause the drs are acting like breast cancer is inevitable and I am being asked to do mammogram then MRI every six months. I just had my regular mammogram and they found something that needed biopsy. I did not eat or sleep for two weeks due to this anxiety and had a panic attack. It was benign. For me the big issue seems to be family history. Mother grandma and cousin all post menopause cancers. I keep trying to talk to my Dr about how this is so disruptive and the effects of the stress on my health. No one seems to care. I am trying to get them to give me Xanax and do all the mammograms as diagnostic so they are ready right away. I am trying to be proactive but everyone is acting like I’m crazy for not just smiling and dealing with this. Other than family history - I don’t have dense breasts, got my period late and am not overweight. But I did do IVF. [/quote]
