I don't know. I hope not. Older women need to be educated about this, so I'm hoping organizations like the Cancer Society are doing just that.

Yes, it still happens. I had received 2 reminder letters to get my mammogram. I brought this to the attention of my PD. She said (2021) that I didn't need it. I was perplexed and couldn't figure out why. She said, "And they'll send you more letters." I thought it had something to do with the fact that I was going to have MOHs surgery for the skin cancer on my face. So I didn't press the issue. Long story short, she left the practice. The Obgyn doctor who took her place only said that that doctor didn't have Covid. The Obgyn doctor said I needed to get a mammogram and it would be my last one. Color me perplexed again. Neither ever explained why. Troubled, I searched for another doctor. He (a "he") this time, told me I needed a mammogram and that the possibility of getting breast Cancer rises with age. (I'm 75) After doing a search online, I realize this is controversial, but the fact that he gave me a reason and one that made sense to me is prompting me to get a mammogram. I wonder, does the originator of this post have someone in your family with breast cancer? Thank you for your post.
