Because of my family history, I used to think "when I get heart disease" and I never worried about cancer at all. Your grandmother's cancer has helped you be aware and educate yourself, but it is not destiny. I like the way the end of your piece moved to "If I get breast cancer," not "when."
We've been fortunate to have you always there with supportive comments and pertinent links to helpful articles. Best wishes to you in your new endeavors.
