I had no genetic breast cancer links and my Mom and her two sisters had breast cancer. However, through a popular online DNA genetic test company, I found I have several genetic links, albeit not the most prevalent being the BRCA genes. If I knew then what I know now, I would look into ways to help my body detox better and balance hormones, which I believe are at the core of breast cancer issues. Liver detoxification is our body’s cleansing machine. If it isn’t working right, all things go haywire. Prevention is key!

I also had a mom and sister with breast cancer and did the genetic testing. Everything was negative including BRCA but had 2 mutations of unknown significance, one for melanoma, which I've had and the other was breast cancer. I was sent to an oncologist who prescribed AI. I read all the side effects including bone loss and at 68 years old don't want to risk it. And of course for all the side effects there's another drug. I don't take any prescription meds at this time and don't want to go down that rabbit hole! What I do instead is watch the Zeno estrogen, meaning hormones in foods and BPH in plastic water bottles, exposures to chemicals ect. After extensive research I believe these hormones are the cause of cancers, not natural estrogen. I have decided to try that route of elemiating them from my diet and also exercising. I eat Whole Foods including grass fed beef, organic chickens and eggs. wild caught fish, and even though it's more expensive, it's cheaper than these drugs. It's worth a try! Also now qualify for 2 mammograms a year and have regular checkups including blood work, and of course prayers!
