factors are getting older and being female There are known risk
factors that you can control and others you cannot change Those
that cannot be controlled include having a genetic mutation,
radiation exposure to the breasts at a young age, a strong family
history, dense breasts on mammograms, and others Lifestyle factors
that may decrease risk include maintaining a healthy weight, being
physically active, avoiding the use of postmenopausal hormones and
breastfeeding if you can

of health, but it just takes a few minutes I dont have any symptoms
of a problem, but early stage breast cancer has no symptoms If I
had breast cancer, I dont want to know, but women who find breast
cancer early have the greatest chances of a full recovery There is
no breast cancer in my family, but most breast cancers are found in
women with no family history I am too old to develop breast cancer,
but risk actually increases as a woman gets older

of breast cancer or other concerns about breasts, she should talk

mammograms and how often to have them

recommended getting a mammogram, but it still should be done
annually I am afraid of radiation, but its a very small dose and
not harmful Having a mammogram may be uncomfortable, but it just
takes a few minutes I think breast exam is a substitute for
mammogram, but its not
