It's not clear from your post whether you have breast cancer yourself or are just worried because your mother died from breast cancer. If you have not been diagnosed there should not be any trouble getting health insurance from any of the big providers.

I feel that insurers would be loathe to take on anyone already diagnosed with breast cancer without a long exclusion period for anything associated with breast cancer.
Good luck with your search
