Fact: Although the risk increases as you get older, all
individuals are at risk of getting breast cancer.
Myth: Women with a history of breast cancer typically
get breast cancer.
Fact: Most women who get breast cancer have no
family history of disease. Although, a person whose
mother, sister, or daughter had breast cancer has an
increased risk.
