Hello. I am 53, 5'4 inches and weigh 135 pounds.I have been menopausal for 1.5 years and have over the last month had tender breasts ... so much so that it has affected my sleep patterns... and after three weeks (last Tuesday), I got my period. I already had a doctor's appointment on the Thursday so discussed this with my doctor. What was strange is that when i went to see the doctor, my breasts were no longer sore (for 2 days) then it started again the next day. I have an ultrasound booked for tomorrow, and a colonoscopy soon and wonder if it wise for me to get a mammogram (my mother had cancer of the uterus (in her 30's.. she's now over 80 and colon 2 years ago.I know I probably should not search for the answer online ... but it is too worrisome.
