in between monthly hormones and menopause....? the void.

CarolCNS

My first mammogram was at 37. Cysts were found & I had an ultra sound. I was told to lower my caffeine intake and take vitamin E. Things went well for a few years. In my early 40s I had to repeat the whole mammogram, ultrasound, procedure to get the all clear. Now, at 49, a few years with no call backs, and a year into menopause, I received another call back and am anxiously waiting for my Monday appointment. So I've been trying to educate myself and read up online. I keep seeing reports that relate to cysts and nodes with hormone flux and the menstrual cycle, or with women having hormone therapy. Neither applies to me. I'm post menopausal but I have not needed any hormones. I feel like I'm in a void.

So are cysts still as common under those circumstances? maybe our hormones are always in flux?

I can't find very much information online that falls into this in-between category.

Thank you for your help.
