Re: Anyone out there have her2+ breast cancer in their family?

Paternal Great-Grandmother 48 at diagnosis in 1945 (Grandfather's Mother)
Paternal Great Aunt before age 50, "aggressive" type, late 1970's, early 80's (Grandmother's Ssister)
Paternal Uncle throat cancer

7 people on my block under the age of 45 diagnosed during the past 10 years, 4 women with breast cancer. Approximately 40 houses in the area. I was diagnosed at 42.
