Be calm: This doesn't mean you can't decide to have a baby. Sounds like you are already addressing obesity - good for you. Stay physically active. Either don't drink or drink to moderation. Be aware that hormone replacement therapy after menopause can increase risk for factor. The one issue you can't change is genetics - BUT I didn't hear you say you have relatives with breast cancer. Stay well.
