Patient discussion about family cancer syndrome.

Q. ) Hello everyone…..breast cancer is genetic to my family as my mom had one surgery. Hello everyone…..breast cancer is genetic to my family as my mom had one surgery. I know I am also on the risk but I am having migraine and I have been told that this reduces the impact of breast cancer….how come? Any clues?

A. Yes it is indeed found through some study that a migraine reduces the chances of breast cancer. The reason given was that as high levels of estrogen are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and women who suffer migraines appear to have low levels of the hormone, which may account for the reduction in breast cancer risk.

Q. I got fear when I got the information that the risk of breast cancer runs in a family. How I can reduce this? I have got fear from the day I have got the information that the risk of breast cancer runs in a family. My mom had breast cancer last year. She is treated well and she is taking some medicines. I have also heard that the breast cancer cases have risen these days. I am very scared from the day I have got this information. Can some give me some information as how I can reduce the risk?

A. Any women with the family history of breast cancer do not have increased risk of breast cancer for more than 10 percent compared to the one with no family history for breast cancer. Take care of your diet as natural diet is always healthy. Also maintain a natural lifestyle. Do not smoke or drink and keep you active throughout the day and follow this forever to feel healthy. Do not take birth pills. Take your mammogram every year. These changes will make your life healthy and will reduce the risk of not only cancer but any disease.
