Hello @pattibranigan, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I appreciate you sharing your experience as you were exposed to DES in utero. While I've never had breast or gynecological cancers, I have had a rare type of digestive tract cancer as well as hypoparathyroidism, osteoporosis, and other relatively rare disorders.

I am glad to hear that you are active and fit. What type of follow-up exams do you have related to the previous cancer diagnoses? If you have had children, do any of them have health issues that might be related to the DES you were exposed to?
