She is still going strong and may even outlive all of us! My grandmother had a mastectomy in her 70s, and cancer did not kill her. She lived into her late 80s and died of natural causes. I had a suspicious lump removed when I was in my early 30s, so have had mammograms regularly since.</p> <p>What's more my dad and brother were dx'd with prostate cancer in the very same year as each other; my brother was quite young for this (40s) and his cancer was very aggressive. My dad's (60s) was not. They were told that prostate always comes back. But at my dad's age it was likely something else would kill him, so he went for the radiation pellets. For my brother... different story, because he was so young, and the cancer so aggressive. He chose the surgery. And he gets regularly screened and so far so good.</p> <p>Meanwhile.... prostate and breast cancer are related. So you could say I am high risk.</p> <p>But with every passing year and the mammogram turns up nothing, I get lazy. I still do my own exams and I do think I could pick something up sooner than a mammogram.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the breast tissue density, I was told that's true in younger women, and women who've never been pregnant or breastfed. When I had the lump I was young and tissue-dense enough a mammogram showed nothing, despite having a very obvious and large lump that was palpable. Ultrasound revealed it was solid. Needle biopsy revealed it needed removal for further inspection. Surgery took it out and revealed it was benign. I've never had anything like that since, but critically, I felt it, I found it... not a mammogram.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1981202 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 15:25:29 +0000 JAileen 1981202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, first, I can’t believe you’re 76! No wonder your labs are great. Second, yes, fire the doctor. I did that a few years ago. He said, well, you’re not *very* overweight. I didn’t fire him for that, but because he didn’t bother to get my records from across town in a month. He said it wasn’t his fault. I said who’s in charge here, and walked out. Third, my primary care doctor said I don’t need a pap anymore, but I do need to continue getting mammograms. The doctor I fired was recommended by a friend of mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1981090 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 03:24:52 +0000 Anonymous 1981090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern, my son who lives in Japan has had great experiences with their medical system. He gets right in to see the doctor of his choice and pays very little. Medicines seem to be no cost from the doctor.

Statistically, with the good health you currently have, the odds are you will live many years yet.<br /> Many countries with public healthcare systems such as mine, do stop paying for the ( free, in our country) mammograms at certain upper limits. In NZ they are free for ages 45-69 inclusive every 2 years, but the upper limit will soon increase to 74 which I applaud, as the risk does not decrease with age. After menopause, for argument's sake 55, 2-yearly is fine unless the breast tissue remains very dense. You have been told yours is,so you may still need annual.<br /> I encourage my healthy women to pay for a bi- annual one themselves after they age out of the free programme. Because if they are fit, they would still rather detect the cancer sooner. But I give them the choice and explain my recommendation. By the time they may be very unwell with something else ( varies, but maybe mid to late 80s, or 90s), then breast cancer may be less of a concern than other conditions, and I still offer breast examinations if they wish, so at least a lump could still be found. The oldest patient who had breast cancer died of it aged 99 years and that was horrible- she was demented and in care, we saw her seldom as her physical health was pretty good but the caregivers who showered her sadly failed to notice an ulcerating lump breaking through the skin, until it was too late to treat it, with her frailty and dementia. So it had to be dressed regularly until she died.<br /> That young doctor has a lot to learn!<br /> I do have to say though, the older I have got, the better I have become at dealing with older patients, although I hope I was never that insensitive.<br /> Good luck with your move. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1976615 Thu, 22 Nov 2018 20:59:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1976615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I can’t remember how old you are, but for my parents, it is very apparent that their remaining “good” years are limited. When Dad’s friend who smoked and drank too much and was very overweight died, they didn’t feel it said anything about their own healthy lives, but in their early 80s now, just looking at the various situations of their friends and acquaintances makes it very clear that they won’t live forever. I’m not sure which is more disconcerting to me, seeing my very bright, funny, extremely alert father slowly lose his mental capacities, or seeing my mother accept that it is time to fold and quietly go about sorting through drawers and closets, preparing for the end.</p> <p>Texstyle, what European countries are you are talking about? In Germany, I have never had an unacceptably long wait for a specialist. I called an allergist in late September for an appointment for my son; they had one the next day, or we could wait until Dec 6. In the US, the wait for new patients at my son’s allergist was 4-6 months. </p> <p>When I had ovarian tumors in Berlin in the 90s, they were surgically removed less than a week after being discovered, with a one-week hospital stay. I needed that time to recover—couldn’t even sit up without my arms at first, and there was a green courtyard where I sat in the sun and gradually went for walks. There was no charge for any of it.<br /> When I had them again in Tampa 15 years later, I waited a couple weeks for surgery, which was outpatient. I was home that day, and my 7th-grade son brought me my pain meds and food for days, in addition to getting himself ready for school, riding there and home on his bike, and making his own breakfast and dinner until I was able to do so. Even then, he could tell when the pain meds were wearing off, because I’d instinctively hold my stomach with one hand. After Blue Cross insurance, I paid several thousand dollars. </p> <p>When we got here this year, we didn’t have health insurance at first, so we paid cash for our appointments, from 14 to 27 Euros, about the same as an insurance co-pay in the US. </p> <p>Despite the scare stories Americans are told about “socialized medicine”, if you’ll do your own research, you’ll see that the reality is that when money doesn’t decide if you can get treatment, and what type, most people receive what they need. One way to compare is to look at average life expectancies and infant mortality rates. The US has some of the worst of all developed countries, with infant and maternal mortality rates getting worse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1976050 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:42:36 +0000 Molly Mac 1976050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TexStyle, as a health care provider in the US, I think it is important to clarify some of your misconceptions regarding billing for health care services. Most providers don't bill services based on time. It is billed based on Medical Decision Making; how complex is your health issue and the care you require. If a provider bills on time it is based on the 15+1 minute rule. Minute 0-15 is one level, minute 16-31 is another level and so forth. It is Medicare fraud to bill for a 60 minute visit if only 5 minutes is spent on the visit and should be reported. Also, medical providers are not involved at all with the costs of labs, X-rays, or other diagnostics. Those costs are set by Medicare and Insurance companies with almost no imput from the medical community. Bonnie's experience was extremely unfortunate and she is absolutely correct to seek out another provider. Most medical professionals are compassionate and caring and really do want what is best for the patient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1975645 Mon, 19 Nov 2018 15:43:04 +0000 Anonymous 1975645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our shock was hearing our future from our financial planner...

Doesn't mean it's a good idea but it's the socialized method of containing costs. Of course many Europeans now pay double for health insurance - once for the gov. plan and again for a private plan because they want better services, they don't want to wait for months,&nbsp; and the want coverage for things outside of the gov. plan. I assume that's what we will have to do as well if we expect anything better than average medical coverage.</div><div><br /></div><div>We all need to be writing our government officials and stop the insurance companies from allowing the medical system from fleecing us the cost of simple things like blood work or a 5 min visit with the doctor charged at a full hour. They charge the insurance company as much as $3,000 for regular lab blood work when the real cost is more like $500. The doctors are allowed to charge a full hour for a 5-10 min. visit.&nbsp; I guess even before that it begins with the universities charging $600,000 or more to become a doctor. Many new doctors want to be successful "instantly" and that means triple booking your hour slots - which is exactly what they do.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1974851 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 16:11:37 +0000 Bonnie 1974851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene: You have given me a lot to think about. Thank you so much for these lovely and encouraging words.

But, I also believe that, unless we firmly, but politely, point out to the offender why we are objecting, nothing will change. </p> <p>As for that young doctor, once you get past the shock and indignation of his insensitivity, you might want to consider having a few words with him. Consider it a public service in the battle against ageism—and, who knows, an “elderly” lady of 72 sitting in his waiting room might have cause to be grateful to her unknown champion. People CAN learn to see us differently if we don’t fit their preconceptions. </p> <p>Resisting ageism takes self-confidence, determination, and, occasionally, a sense of humor to let people know when they have crossed the line—qualities you have in spades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor/page/2#post-1974678 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 22:13:40 +0000 Bonnie 1974678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi: I agree that my doctor was very insensitive and he probably needs a refresher in patient relationships.</p> <p>Flytigress: This is very good information and is in line what I thought was the practice today.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy: Thanks for contributing to this discussion. My shock was probably due to the fact that I really don't have any older relatives or friends that I see often or share experiences with. &nbsp;Although we live in a 55+ community, most are younger because it is such a new development. It sounds like you are experiencing the same treatment I am. I'm glad you chose the lenses that allow night driving. I don't feel ready to give up my options yet and it sounds like you aren't either.

My father had prostate cancer in his 90's. Doctors did not really want to even try to treat it. I have been told that I am too old for several exams and medications that I have taken for years. A lot depends on what Medicare supports, it seems.<br /> Even the recent cataract surgery had its senior plan. They have, I am told, a very good "assisted living" model lense for older people. It is cheaper but will not allow night driving . I rejected that one because I still need to be able to drive at night but it made me feel really old to have this plan pushed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974587 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 14:46:47 +0000 Flytigress 1974587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know many women whose lives were saved by mammography.

But I think it shows a lack of discernment on the part of this doctor. Not everyone who is older is in ill health--it sounds like you are very healthy. The doctor should have taken that into account. Not all bodies are the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974466 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 00:36:08 +0000 Bonnie 1974466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz: Thanks so much for your kind, comforting words. I too, have a family history of cancer and I'd like to do all that I can to prevent it. Mammograms are easy for me and with my dense, lumpy tissue, the best way to detect cancer. If medicare thinks I need one then I want to get one. They know my history far better than my doctor seems to. I've only seen him this past year - the first time he yelled at me about my high blood pressure. He did prescribe an additional medication that has helped bring it down to normal. The second time I saw him, he was all smiles about my excellent test results. This is the third time and I'm not really sure why he asked me to come back in six months, because all he did was describe a movie. I brought up the yearly mammogram and that's when I got the lecture. I love that you are passionate about preventing Ageism.</p> <p>Angie: Yes, this has been a stressful time. I am so happy that I will soon be having daily walks on the beach and cooler summers.</p> <p>anchie: What a terrible, frustrating thing for your mother to have to go through.

My mom is 72, she had stroke recently and she wants to get better. But her doctor’s attitude is that she has to accept her situation, that she had long and happy life and why she wants more. And that there are worst things at her age than stroke and she should be grateful . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974387 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 18:05:46 +0000 Angie 1974387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, <b>bonnie</b>.

Vibrant is the word that always comes to mind. </p> <p>Whatever the current research on mammograms, that doctor’s manner was rude and dismissive. A conversation about pros and cons would have been far more productive. </p> <p>It seems you got the worst possible write off. His attitude seems to have been a contradictory mixture. You look younger, so no need to worry your pretty little head about your health. AND you are “old” so what’s the difference? </p> <p>Ageism may be the last “allowable” discrimination. We are going to change that! </p> <p>I do go for mammograms due to my family history but like Angie I have had some scares and false positives so I have very mixed feelings about it. The standard where I live is changing, as Jules said. Fewer and less frequent tests. I don’t go every year. It is debatable how useful these are at different ages. </p> <p>It is true that most of us will die of cancer or heart disease. Many late life cancers though are very slow growing and will not kill us and don’t require treatment. There is so much in medicine that remains a mystery, particularly when it comes to aging. All the more reason for doctors to learn to discuss this respectfully and thoughtfully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974371 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:16:43 +0000 Bonnie 1974371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: Thank you. I have been less present on YLF recently for the following reasons. Last spring, we took a three and a half month trip in our MH up the CA, and OR coasts with a brief stop in Portland and then on to Yellowstone for three weeks. During the trip, we made the decision to sell our home so when we got home in late Aug. we spent three weeks preparing our home for sale. It was on the market for three weeks when the fourth person to look at it made an offer which we accepted. We had a five week escrow to find another place and pack up our belongings which we are still working on. In 12 days, the moving van comes and we leave for the CA central coast. A busy time but I follow YLF every day although I do not often comment. Not sure how long it will take to get resettled - there will be a bit of remodeling to do. Eventually, I'll be looking for wardrobe advice since our new weather will be totally opposite from the hot desert.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974367 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:01:50 +0000 Bonnie 1974367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou: Thank you and what an appalling story.

I've had breast scares, too, but I find it strange that a test that caused a lot of additional testing and procedures a couple of years ago is no longer needed because I've reached a certain age. Medicare still wants me to get them because of my history but it appears that my doctor, who probably hasn't read it, just goes by his group's age charts. &nbsp;</p> <p>MsMaven: You are exactly right. People age differently and individual needs should be respected. When testing is no longer indicated, it should be discussed rather than just dropped with no explanation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tina: I still have dense breast tissue and I was told, until this year, that it was important for me to have mammograms because the denseness made is hard to check manually.

I'm happy that your dad found your mother's cancer and she was able to treat it successfully. My aunt, who is my age, thought something was wrong and went to her doctor who checked her manually and said everything was OK. My aunt disagreed and requested a mammogram which showed that she had stage one breast cancer. Different experiences with happy endings. Good advice on how to find a doctor. I'm moving back to a community where I lived from 2010 - 2013, so I have friends that can help guide me, too.</p> <p>texstyle: Thank you, I don't feel my age either. I walk in the desert and hour a day and practice yoga for about 45 minutes a day. I don't get sick very often and had the flu for the first time in 30 years last spring because of the inadequate vaccine.<br />&nbsp;I think what bothered me most about this experience was Dr. Y's attitude that since I'm over 75, I'm going to die soon so why try to prevent it. What's wrong with dying sooner rather than later and it doesn't make any difference whether it's cancer or heart disease. I'm just wondering if this attitude is common among MDs today.</p> <p>Nebraskim: I agree that people of every age should have the right to the medical care they need and should not be discounted because of their age.</p> <p>lisp: Thank you so much for your kind words.

I think they are questioning the whole idea whether early detection is as valuable as they had assumed (again, statistically speaking). Cancers also tend to be slow growing in older people.<br /> So he might be trying to communicate new guidelines or thinking, but he did an absolutely piss poor job of it and I’d be livid too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974326 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 13:47:31 +0000 Anonymous 1974326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an (expletive deleted)!

I have many things to say about this. But I will just say it’s very bad when a doctor doesn’t really see you and your personal medical and life situation. When I lived in the ghetto, I had a neighbor. Her schooling was poor, her medical situation one that exacerbated her confusion... I could go on. Needless to say, she couldn’t follow the printed instructions he’d give her, and ON TOP of that he prescribed her medications that did not play well with her other prescriptions. Knocked her kidneys out. Doctors need to think, not just follow singular given paragraphs in ‘the book.’ </p> <p>All right. I’ve said my peace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-future-according-to-my-doctor#post-1974274 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 07:07:00 +0000 Jane 1974274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A horrid experience and I’m so grateful you have shared it. I have a super doctor who has been kind and supportive. She took me under her wing a few years ago. </p> <p>I hope that you find a new doctor who is similarly kind, supportive and technically sound. </p> <p>You do look amazing! </p>
