I was 29 when my daughter was born. But, as soon as I was diagnosed they told me that when a father has mbc that the chances for the daughter getting it is tenfold and that she will have to start having mammograms and being watched at about 20 years old. I think that throughout all of this that is what bothered me the most. I pray that she doesn't have to go thru this.
