Thanks for the reply. My doctor has always sent me for every test every year, and I've never questioned it. However I've been surveying my girlfriends and a lot of them have a mammogram every two years or not at all. Most in their early to late 60s don't have pap smears at all any more, and don't feel they are necessary. And most have never had a bone density exam. I'm just wondering if all the tests are really necessary.
