From the Breast Cancer Research Foundation:
About five to 10 percent of breast cancers are hereditary. However, genetic factors may account for 25 percent of breast cancers in women under age 30.
So not sure anyone can be sure they are low risk. I thought I was.
Just a reminder of my original post’s conclusion:
I am grateful I never did HRT. I would be regretting and blaming myself for my cancer. My menopause symptoms weren’t terrible so I am not advising anyone here on what to do in this complicated situation, for those with awful menopausal symptoms. I saw hot flashes as “power surges”! I know that some really suffer.
Withdrawing at this point since there seems to be a debate going on that I did not intend.
