If breast cancer doesn't run in your family?

Question:

If breast cancer doesn't run in your family can you still get it. I thought you still could because think about it, someone had to of get it, in your family for it to run in your family right? So what do you think?

Answers:
Yes! You can get breast cancer even if no one else in your family had it before you. Every woman should learn to, and give herself, a monthly breast exam. Women over the age of 40 should have a mammograph done every year.
