iPrevent- estimating your personal risk of developing breast cancer
Just saw this on a morning tv show and looked it up on the net. Haven't drilled down into it yet but it sounds interesting. It does state that it shouldn't be used if you have had invasive BC or DCIS....
I answered the questions for my age (48) as I was before my first diagnosis in 2008. Fit, 1 child, answered honestly about the wine at that time 24 units per week, maternal granmother diagnosed at 72. Estimate only 1.9%. It didn't ask about bowel cancer which my mum died of at 55. It also didn't ask about depression which I think has been a major factor in both of my diagnosis. Being unhappy for years and self medicating on wine had to have been a major contributor in my books.
