Absolutely: With 2 immediate family members with history of breast ca you should definitely get it checked out by MRI instead of just a mammogram.

See your doc: While breast cancer is not a common symptom of breast cancer, you should discuss your concerns with your friendly primary care physician. In addition ask whether genetic testing is appropriate for you.
