My paternal Aunt informed me after I was diagnosed that my grandmother, great grandmother, and great grandmother's sister all died of breast cancer very young. My grandmother was only 34. I don't know what that means if anything - no other cases reported in my family that I am aware of. I tried to get the genetic couseling but BCBS didn't cover it and I didn't have the $1000. to spend!
