You don't get breast cancer from being hit in the boob. That is rediculous. And it definately can be hereditary. Look it up on google for more info.
4 :
No. and yes, it tends to run in families, that's why your doc will ask if a family member ever had it. But it still doesn't mean you'll have it...they might be able to do a genetic test though.
5 :
No, not from being hit in the breast. But, yes, it can be hereditary. Especially if a member of your mother's side of the family had it. You should have regular yearly mammograms if you are at a higher risk for it.

yes i punched a kid in the boob once. then it fell off

you cannot get it from being hit in the breast (more of a chance of winning the lottery twice and winning a noble prize, then getting breast cancer from being hit in the boob) there has been research done that links genes with skin cancer. there is a 5% higher risk of you getting it if you have a pattern of it in your family. the major risk factors are alcohol, smoking and obesity. contraceptive pills have also been linked to higher incidences of breat cancer. usually once you hit the age of 40, you should start getting a mammogram every 2 years. if you have a pattern of breast cancer in your family the doctor may suggest you get mammograms much earlier.
