Thanks Renee,
I am very glad I am negative for that too. both my aunt and my
grandmother on my fathers side have had breast cancer.My aunt had a
double masectomy when she was my age and over a year of chemo and
radiation!That is also were my PCOS came from. So this is a very big
concern for me since I favor my fathers side of the family
genetically.Thanks for the concern and for putting that out there I hope
others can benifit from reading these posts that have NOT been checked
for breast caner. I feel that your never too young to be checked for it
and I wish insurances would pay for mamograms for woman under 40!
