What is your opinion on the breast cancer "gene" My mother had breast cancer at 40, her sister at (my maternal aunt) 29 and myself at 29. My husbands grandmother and 2 of her sisters all had breast cancer before age 40 (forget their ages) and 2 of their daughters died of ovarian at the age of 40. What can you tell me about this horrible connection. I have a daughter who is now 11 and I fear for her as well as myself. I am constantly educating myself as to the best way to do things. I now eat a raw diet and am in the process of cleaning my liver and bowels. Any other insights into "genetic" breast cancer?
