What is the longest period

Hello Ladies, Just seeing what is the longest period anyone has ever had? I turned 50 in February, and i cant take more. i started spotted the end of May, then the firstweek of June normal period and now the gusher of all. I was so excited on Thursday and Friday of this week it let up a little, now forget it. Was at the gyno on monday, 2 small cysts outside of uterus, he wants me to take Hormones or birth Control, which im agsinst, due to breast cancer in my family and ive had issues since i was 30 or do surgery or he said i can ride it out. did blood work last friday and im not anemic, which i was shocked i wasnt . Never had a period this long. I just love wearing a matress pads. Thank u all ladies for any advice
