Hi everyone
I could really do with some advice. My mum has been diagnosed with grade 3 triple negative breast cancer that has metastasized to her lymph nodes. She has had a single masactomy and will be going through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Today I received a letter from my godmother who used to be a nurse and a university nursing professor and she is urging me to contact my gp to request a mammogram and saying it's really important I do this. She has totally terrified me as no one has mentioned anything like this to me or my sister. We are both in our early 30s and after reading online about it I'm not sure we need to have this done. MY mum is the only family we have who has had breast cancer. My paternal grandfather passed away of cancer (not sure what type) so does this mean I have a family history of cancer?
