Ok...I'm feeling much better about this now...thanks to all of you! As far as I know, there is no history of breast cancer (or any cancer) in my family...BUT, that is not to say that something wasn't "missed". I never met my father, so I have no medical history on him. As for my mother (who is deceased), she never was the type of woman who would go to the doctor for anything other than her Type 2 diabetes. I'm absolutely positive that she never did a self-exam, or even had a mammogram...that's just how she was. So...IF there was cancer growing in her, I doubt she even knew about it. So...that makes my family history a bit "sketchy". Fortunately, I'm just the opposite of my mom...I tend to be over cautious about everything.
