Dense Breasts, Family History and Your Mammogram: How to Know your Real Risk

In part two, Dr. Mary Claire Haver and breast oncologist Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky shift to breast cancer risk, prevention, and early detection: dense breasts, family history myths (only 5–10% of breast cancers are hereditary), risk assessment from age 25, who needs genetic testing, and why previvors in surgical menopause can use hormone therapy without raising their breast cancer risk. Plus life after treatment — bone density, chemo brain, heart health, fear of recurrence, and body image after mastectomy.
