It did not ask the one very important question -- have you already had breast cancer?

That was about the third question.  It had multiple answers, and have you already had breast cancer was one of them.

Thanks - I think it is very caring of you to post this.

 

But, I am dubious of the results.  Mine came up high risk due to the sole reason of me being Ashkenazi. 

Same for me

Or... "Have you ever had a Mammogram?"

@MissBonBon   Having or not having a mamogram does not decrease or increase your chances of GETTING breast cancer.  It only  detects cancers.

 

Not all types of breast cancers are detected on mammograms either.  After faithfully getting mammograms for many years, I was diagnosed with breast cancer that never showed on a mammogram.  That was when I was told not all types are seen on mammograms.
