Am I at a high risk for breast cancer if both of my dad’s sisters have/had it?
A year ago, one of my dad’s sisters lost her battle with breast cancer.
My dad’s other sister just found out she has breast cancer.
There are only two sisters.
When my Aunt Glenda (who died) was sick, they tested my other aunt and my cousin, to see if she had the kind that was genetic. They said she didn’t.
I’m now having problems with that result, since it seems like some insane odds that BOTH of my aunts would have a non-genetic form of breast cancer.
As the daughter of their BROTHER, would I be at a higher risk than I otherwise would be as a member of the female population? Should I, and my sisters, and my cousin, do anything now, other than perform regular self-checks? My sisters and I are in our twenties. Our other cousin, the only daughter of the other brother, is only five.
Thanks.
Well, thank you to those of you who have actually answered the question.
To whoever said “Yahoo! Answers doesn’t take the place of doctors”, rest assured, I am only on here because I just found out over lunch today, and am asking around on here, the Susan G. Komen Foundation and other places, including my doctor when I see her next.
To the guy who said we’re kind of in the same boat: no we’re not. First, you aren’t talking about relatives with breast cancer. Second, you’re a DUDE. Thanks for the pep talk, but we’re not in the same situation.
David M – TOTALLY NOT HELPFUL. “Vitamin C” is not an answer to “Do you think I have a higher risk because both aunts had it?”. That answer is a little like when I asked my toddler what his favorite color was, and he said “Paper.”
Cute for the two-year-old. Annoying when grown people get on here and “answer” questions by rambling about something that has NOTHING to do about what is being asked.
