Do you know, who carry's the Breast Cancer gene

I was wondering, how many of you know who carry's the Breast Cancer gene? Well.. I thought I knew, until I got it. NO it's not your mother, it's your father. Your Dr.'s always ask if your mother side has a history of it and never asked about my father side. When will they start to ask that question? I was reading a story the other day about a 31yr lady who passed away, after her 4yr long battle with Breast Cancer. It took a full year of her fighting with her Dr. and Insurance company to get a mammogram. Why?? Because she was to young and had no family history. When are Dr.'s going to start backing up us? Not everybody will have a family history, so how can they say your not at risk? These are question's we need to start asking. Because we only have one life!!
