If people in your family have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer you might consider talking with your doctor about a simple genetic test that looks for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
Sometimes, changes in the BRCA genes occur that prevent them from functioning properly. These changes are called genetic variants or mutations. Variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can be passed down through families, increasing the risk of developing certain cancers.
While it is true that having certain BRCA variants can increase a person's risk of developing cancer, most cases of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers aren't caused by inherited BRCA variants. And not every individual who inherits a BRCA variant will develop cancer.
Do your own research friends. Be your own advocate.
