I do get check ups and mammograms regularly. I just can't believe that you are not effect somewhat by genes, even if it is on dad's side. Every one of the woman have died from the breast cancer. So I am very confused. I also had a terrible problem with fibric cysts in my breast when I was 13 to 15 years old.
