In some people the answer is yes. I was diagnosed with BC when I was 24 and had taken birth control pills since my teens. No one in my family has had breast cancer, although other types of cancers have been present. The kind of cancer I had has estrogen and progesterone receptors, which means these hormones make it grow, so I cannot take hormonal contraceptives ever again if I want to avoid recurrence. I have to take medication that shuts off my ovaries and another that blocks the small amount of estrogen produced by my endocrine (?) gland, at least until my 5 yr wait-and-see period is up. Also my cancer was HER2nu receptive, which is a genetic marker (if I am understanding all this correctly) that means I am genetically predisposed to this type of hormone receptive cancer. However, that kind of testing is done on the tumor, so as far as I understand there is no screening to tell you if you have this HER2nu thing beforehand. Plainly put, the only way to know is if you get a tumor for them to test. Sorry if this explanation isn
