If your uncle, your father, and your grandfather all died of pinkie cancer and your own tests showed you have all the genes leading to pinkie cancer, I bet you would be walking around with eight fingers right now....
Maybe. But ONLY IF they died of pinkie cancer while in the early 20’s.
I think the point is that developing breast cancer is a very high risk for Miss Rose. But not at her age.
And you would be wrong. I have a very good idea of what will kill me from my family history. I would not choose surgery if I were not actually ill, however. Also, with the rapid developments going on in medicine, this is just an overreaction to what has not happened, may not happened, and might soon be relatively easily fixed. I can understand a woman choosing to be very, very vigilant if her family has a long history of breast cancer, but to have your breasts removed when you might never even develop the disease makes no sense.
