Need to know if you would choose to undergo a double mastectomy just because your own mother died of breast cancer?

Sorry to hear: Family history, especially in a first degree relative like your mother, will statistically increase your risk but that does not mean you jump into getting mastectomies. Depends on many factors: how old was she when she got it? Anyone else in the family? Any personal risk factors present? Discuss this with your doc and get a personalized risk assessment.
