rt-image.com has a great article discussing popular myths about breast cancer. I think it’s a great read with some useful insight.
“Myth #3: A woman is not at risk for breast cancer if there is no family history of the disease.

who get breast cancer have no known family history of the disease.
Increasing age – normal aging – is the biggest single risk factor for
breast cancer.”
