They share only one parent, both have seperate fathers


Answers:

Breast cancer runs in our family on the female side, i looked in to having tests to find out if i was a carrier of the gene, was told if i was a carrier i would have a mammogram every year, I chose not to have the test, as i found out even if you do carry it may not always develop into breast cancer, and as breast cancer runs in the family i am still entitled to a mammogram every year and have done since i was 33.Preventions better than cure. Remember breast cancer is not a life sentence, it can be beaten.
