I'm 25 years of age, and my Grandmother died of breast cancer nearly 25 years ago. I am currently taking microlite-combined oral contraceptive, yet at my last doctors appointment I did not know of my grandmothers cause of death. On the side of my pill packet it says to take extra precaution if you have a family history of breast cancer. My G.P. is away for the next month, hence I have not been able discuss it with her. Do you think it's safe for me to continue taking these pills? or should I stop immediately? Have I greatly increased my risk of breast cancer by taking these pills for the last year?! Please help, as I will not be able talk to my G.P. for at least a month! Thank you for your time!
