I am a 42 year old, otherwise healthy woman with no familial history cancer, but a maternal history of postmenopausal ovarian
cysts and uterine fibroids, all leading my mom to have her
cysts and ovaries removed in her 50s. For the past 6-12 months, my menstrual cycle has been regular at 28 days, but periods have been a very heavy blood flow with unprecedented, debilitating cramps, causing me to miss work on day one of some cycles.
