Thanks to anyone who will help with this information search.

My grandmother died of breast cancer 11 years ago and my mom has finally won her battle against breast cancer (which she had for about a year to fight). My mom was my grandmother’s oldest child and I’m my mother’s oldest child. Yesterday I felt a bump in my left breast and became concerned. I am only 18, but I am worried. I also have type 1 diabetes which I inherited from my grandmother’s side of the family.

Do I have high chances of having breast cancer?

But for those that its gone further and have cancer in other parts of the body, did they have breast cancer originally but didnt catch it in time?
A friend of the family died recently and had been fighting against cancer for years! She had ovarian cancer when they originally found it and I thought thats where it started but my mum said no she would have had breast cancer first, is that right? She also had it in her stomach and had a operation to remove it but was also in the bowel and that part was left. Im sure she had it in other places to, I dont remeber her saying she had breast cancer.
Please dont answer this if you really dont know and guessing.

As most all of you know October is Breast Cancer Awarness Month. Ozark Leather Co. has recently come out with Breast cancer Awareness ribbons.. now this is not your typical ribbon. It’s about 6in long & made of pink leather with a pink leather loop on the end for hanging. THESE ARE REALLY NICE!!!! These are saddle charms much like the crosses you see many people with.They can be hung from your saddle horn, flank slats , breast collar dees , the tie keepers rearview mirros…etc. Bascially where ever you can think of to hang them. I have ordered a lot b/c 22% of the sales from these ribbons is going straight to the BCA foundation!!!! If any of you are interested in purchasing one of these charms let me know. They will retail for roughly 9.99 while it may seem like a lot is really not, b/c don’t forget 22% (that’s $2.19 exactly) of that goes to the BCA foundations! It’s for a great cause. I am buying one b/c it runs in my family & 2 of my good friends have been affected by it.

Our doctor mentioned that chemotherapy could last for 6 months for young women (under 35) even at a stage 2a node negative grade 3 breast cancer.
I heard that some young people in similar situation get away with 2-3 months.

6 months, Isn’t it too long?
