Welcome to Healthcare Magic.....Since you got breast cancer at an early age of 41 years you may have a mutation in BRCA causing it... But other factors like family history, associated cancers like ovary, colon or stomach are usually associated with BRCA breast cancer and it has an earlier age of onset at 35 years or so....If would like to review with the above details then we can consider the need for BRCA testing for your daughter
