She's 55, no family history, she had her first (and second) child after age 30, and then proceeded to have 2 more at ages 48 and 50. There is some speculation at various websites as to whether fertility treatments she had might have increased her risk for breast cancer. You think John will go after the doc who helped her get pregnant the last two times?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
