Breast Cancer

Hi, my question comes from Breast Cancer in the family. My
mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last September, unfortunately it was discovered in the last stages and had prior
to discovering it spread to her bones etc. I am 34 years old,
should I be checked? I know in many doctor offices they wont do
it until your 40 and up, but being as how my mother has it, should I schedule a mamagram and tell the doctor about my mother's recent diagnosis? What are the chances of me and my
sisters developing Breast Cancer, are we at higher risk?

You've got the wrong forum, there's a special breast cancer forum somewhere else on this link.
