Am I at risk for breast cancer?!


Question: Am I at risk for breast cancer?
My great-grandmother had breast cancer (on my dad's side), her daughter, my grandma had breast cancer, and my aunt on my mom's side had breast cancer.

Am I at risk for getting breast cancer?

I'm 16, at what age should I get a breast examination?

Answers:

Sometimes genetics suck. Yes, you are at increased risk. Make sure your family doctor knows your family history and get checked early and regularly. Don't let it run your life just get checked when your intervals come up.

Since you have a family history your doctor will most likely send you for a mammogram at the age of 30. Other than that, no need to worry.
