Where can I access more information about a family history of breast cancer?
If you are concerned about your family history of breast cancer, it is important that you have access to appropriate information. Your first step should be to discuss your individual circumstances with your general practitioner. If you would like further information you may be interested in ‘Do you have breast cancer in your family?’ from the National Breast Cancer Centre, available from the NOBCC website. BreastScreen provides a free mammography screening service to women aged 50-69 with no breast symptoms. For more information or to arrange a free appointment phone 13 20 50 (for the cost of a local call) or phone TTY 13 36 77 (service for people with hearing or speech difficulties).
