I had no family history.
I had no genetic mutation.
I was never on hormones.
I was never overweight.
I never smoked.
I never, I don't drink.
I've never done drugs in my life.
So I was the perfect example of someone who- You did everything right.
I did everything right.
At 48, I had a breast biopsy that showed atypia and I asked my, obviously I had to go in and do an excisional biopsy.
They removed it.
And my doctor said, everything's good.
Go come back in six months.
I went to my office and I calculated my lifetime risk of breast cancer.
And it was the first time I did that because I had no reason to do it before because I had no risk factors.
But when I calculated my lifetime risk, it showed 37%.
So I called my doctor and I said, you tell me I'm okay, but this lifetime risk says 37%.
And back then I had my three daughters.
I had not adopted my little one.
If you told me this plane had a 37% chance of crashing, I would never board that plane.
