Thank you for the link. I just lost a 30 year old friend to breast cancer and I just don't understand this disease at all.

Thank you for providing this link. I have bookmarked it so that I can read up on this. My sister and I are at very high risk for breast cancer, as it runs on both sides of my family. I have done some exploring/glancing around the site and there is soooo much great information there.

Hey, I was not aware that cancer can be hereditary. I thought it wasnt. But reading your responses got me thinking. Is it really true that cancer is hereditary? If so, whats the chances of inheriting it? Could anyone educate??

I was looking more into the herditary aspect of cancer. I never realized how many are heriditary. Here is a good link that goes more in depth on this subject.http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/603.cfm
