Windyshores, great! Thanks for this suggestion. You would think that after 5 years they would automatically give that test along with an option for a MRI or CT scan to check for cancer.

@perplexed I had to make all the arrangements for the Breast Cancer Index myself. This was in 2020 just before COVID hit. One of my oncologists loved the idea and said she was going to start using it. I believe it is now in the NCCN guidelines. I wondered if docs were now using it.

I had no choice considering my spinal fractures. I wanted to do 7 years because I read that 7 was as good as 10. But I did 5! The BCI was a firm no, which helped.
