Easy to take quiz. Insightful.

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

Interesting info - thanks!

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

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.

I took this just b/c I was curious about the questions,

I am aware of my risk.

I think it is a way to collect data as well

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

The quiz asks whether you have been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer.

It doesn't say you have a higher risk if you are an Ashkenazi Jew. It says that if you are an Ashkenazi Jew, you might have the BRCA gene, and should be tested. If you don't have the gene, your risk would be whatever was determined by your other factors (in my case, average risk).
