I have an aunt on my father's side that died of breast cancer about 15 years ago. She was in 50's.My father died of melanoma 27 yrs. ago. He was 48. There is no bc on my mother's side. In fact my grandmother is the only one who had any cancer. It was a very slow growing cancer in her gums. She was in her 90's when this was dx. She didn't die from it, just old age.


I had always been told to look at your mother's side of the family. I was greatly surprised by my dx. I did not have any factors that are listed as risk factors in bc.
