What to do if i have had fibrocystic breast disease for years. i am now after menopause (age 77) is this a risk factor 4 breast cancer?

It is not: If you had been given a diagnosis of atypical epithelial hyperplasia, sclerosing adenosis or one of its kin, your right might have been a bit higher. The question is really moot as hopefully you're doing self-exam and otherwise keeping up cancer surveillance. Best wishes.
