You yourself cannot determine if you have breast cancer. What you can do is examine yourself for any unusual lumps or masses in the breast tissue, and then if you find something you need to go to the doctor and only a doctor and tests can determine if it's cancerous. Most breast lumps are benign, but don't count on it. You have a family history of breast cancer, so you should talk to your doctor about regular screenings for it. Most breast cancers aren't life threatening if caught in time. My own mother had breast cancer, and lived for more than 30 years afterwards, (she died of an strep infection), and in those days, they had to do quite a bit of radiation, as nowadays it's easier to detect and treat. Don't worry about it excessively, but get regular screenings and talk with your doctor. Good luck to you.

be careful if you get lump on your breast,it become bigger and hurt maybe genetic factor can cause you get this illness too. check and go to doctor immediately!
4 :
1. you should go for a mammogram. 2. should palpate your breast everyday when you shower to check for lumps. if the lump runs around it is probably benign but if its stuck down or hard, its dangerous. remember to palpate your armpit too as breast cancers would spread there first. 3.look for any abnormal discharge from your nipple 4.if you lose your appetite or weight for some reason, this is a bad sign. it means it probably has spread around your body. any back pain, breathing difficulty or abdominal distension or any disturbances in your brain function is bad too as breast cancer commonly spreads to the bones, lungs, abdomen and brain. 5. there are some genetic tests can be done to look for any inheritence of genes that predispose to cancer. these are called BRACA genes. you can ask your doctor about this and he can check you or your relatives with breast cancer
