 Breast Cancer
 
cancer doesn't ru  

If breast cancer doesn't run in your family, you won’t get it.

No.
Every woman has some risk of breast cancer. About 80% of women who get breast cancer have no known family history of the disease. Increasing age - just the wear and tear of living - is the biggest single risk factor for breast cancer. For those women who do have a family history of breast cancer, your risk may be elevated a little, a lot, or not at all. If you are concerned, discuss your family history with your physician or a genetic counselor. You may be worrying needlessly
