As with most things, a good sit-down with my ob/gyn was all I needed to get things sorted out. It would be nice if know-better-than-the-person-who-had-cancer nurses would stay out of the middle, but whatever.
My ob/gyn is taking charge of my yearly breast screenings, and she does agree that my situation requires a mammogram and a MRI.
She showed me the pictures from my last ultrasound that showed no suspicious cysts on the ovaries. With that and knowing I'm not BRAC+, we decided to discontinue every-six month ultrasounds.
We did decide to do a yearly endometrial biopsy to check for endometrial cancer as a result of the tamoxifen. This doesn't happen very often, but there was a very small chance that I should have gotten bc too.
Anyway, it feels like a solid and reasonable program, and I'm happy to know my ob/gyn is behind it 100%.
