strong family history

Hi, I'am abit nervous as I have strong family history of breast cancer etc; I have to get a breast ultrasound done because I have been getting pain in my breast for the last 2mnths especially in my left breast. I also have to see the genetic people so they can see if I carry the cancer gene.

    Hi, I'm just curious I have to see the genetics to get tested for the braca cancer gene, I have quite strong family history. Both my great aunts who are sisters got breast cancer very young and my Pop who is their brother has prostate cancer and their grandmother had breast cancer aswell so which is my great great grandmother. I'm just wondering is it possible I could carry the cancer gene? I have to get a breast ultrasound done tomorrow because my breast have been hurting for 2mnths straight.
