I had my normal Breastscreen mammograms from the age of 50-62. At 60 all clear. At 62 they found 63% of my breast had high grade cancer so off it came - I was given no choice.

Your post, and those of the other ladies, have given me some questions to raise with the oncologist. Thank you.
As I have only just finished with the menopausal hot flushes I am not keen to start again !
If your female GP says it is OK and you trust her then leave the pelvic ultrasound - BUT - if you are like me and prefer to be proactive then have it early before something is really wrong. I had an emergency hysterectomy in 1997 so I guess this won't be an issue for me.
Have a happy day.
