ABC ran a pretty interesting story about women who are having their daughters tested for breast cancer if they have a history of the condition in their families. While many women are also opting out of the tests for their children, there is no shortage of controversy.

What are your thoughts? If you were a woman with a strong family history of breast cancer, would you want your young daughter tested? Would it cause unnecessary worry? Do you consider it proactive?

I hear alot about Stage 1 Breast Cancer or Stag 2 breast cancer, but don't know what that means. Do you know anyone who can explain the differences?

Since Cynthia Nixon just talked about her breast cancer (I believe detected by a mammogram in her very early 40s) as well as Cheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge also in their early 40s. Kylie Minogue was in her mid 30s. And of course, there are the thousands of young women out there we haven't heard of. Routine mammograms are advised to women starting in their 40s. I know breast tissue is denser when we are younger so cancer is less detectable but it seems breast cancer is being seen in younger and younger women.
