1 great aunt breast cancer@ 71 no other history most women had hysterectomy so don't know if ovarian cancer is issue should i get brac tested?

Personal decision: Your history is not a high risk one. You can ask to have genetic counseling with your breast center to see if your are a good candidate for brca gene testing. You can ask your doctor to run it but unfortunately it is pretty expensive. Check with your doctor.
