Dear sab48,

Thank you for reaching out to us today.

If you have a first-degree relative who was diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer (mother, sister, daughter) or was diagnosed at a young age (30 or younger) talk with your health care provider about when you should begin screenings and your individual risk.

I wish your mother all the best in getting well.
