A member asked:
Supposing my mother and both grandmothers had breat cancer, what is my risk for getting cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: The fact both of your gms had cancer is not that important because they are from different sides of the family. It would be more important to know the ages at which they got it, how big your family is, your ethnicity, and any other cancer present in your family. We also need additional personal info to estimate risk. Talk to your gyn to see if you need a visit with a cancer genetics specialist.
