Breast Cancer Risk - What My Twin Sister Did About It
Girl, whatever… except when it comes to your risk for breast cancer. 👀
My sister’s risk was higher because of my diagnosis—so she made the brave choice to have a preventative double mastectomy (and no, not a b0 0 b job 🙃).
Together, we’re also participating in an important study for sisters to help researchers understand genetics, risk, and prevention.
Here’s the reality:
✨ Breast cancer incidence has been increasing since 2010
✨ The highest rates are now in younger women
✨ Research suggests environment + lifestyle play a major role
Your life story, your family history, your data—it all matters. 🧬 Studies like this help unlock why rates are rising and how we can fight back.
👉 Know your risk. Book your screenings. And if you get the chance, consider joining a study or clinical trial. Because the more we participate, the more answers we find—and the more lives we save. 💗
