My mom had bc (still living) and 3 of her sisters had it too (2 are still living). Neither of my sisters have it and none of my cousins. I am the first of that generation of women to get bc and I am one of the youngest cousins but....
My dad's mother died from ovarian cancer and I think that might have contributed to my "genetic" weakness (having it on both sides of the family). I was tested but came up negative for BRCA 1 & 2. I feel my sisters are at risk since my mom and I both developed bc.
Warm regards
Becky
