Question about the Pill and increased risk

Question

Hi wondering if anybody can help me with some advice? I'm 38 and last year was dianosed with stage 3 Infiltrating Duct Carninoma&nbsp;and my breast cancer was oestrogen receptor positive. 
The Family Cancer Centre have determined my cancer was genetic but we are BRCA 1 &amp; 2 negative so we carry&nbsp;an unknown gene. Three of my aunt's had breast cancer and a cousin has just had treatment for Ovarian Cancer.
One sister's doctors will nolonger prescribe her the pill as he says it's too high risk. 
My youngest sister's 30 and her&nbsp;doctor has just precribed her the pill to her for her skin. Should she take it or get another opinion?

If her skin is a problem then maybe she should see a dermatologist - my daughter did and it helped.
