ok well i was reading risk factors and it said 20% of people with breast cancer have a family history


HELLO! that means 80% of people with breast cancer DO NOT have a family history!!!

wouldnt that mean that you are at an increased risk if you do not have a family history!!!???
im just saying, more often than not people with cancer dont have a family history....sounds kinda fishy
michael that was the most confusing thing ever! lol
 
No it means you are at the same risk as everyone else. Most cancers have risk factors and family history only plays a small factor in most of them.
