A young woman: Dying of cancer leaving a family behind is a nightmare. My wife'smother died when she was 5. Neither she nor her two sisters developed breast cancer. A single episode in a relative does not determine fate for the rest for the family. Self exam, professional exam, and mammography are the best ways to guard against breast ca death.
