How can I protect myself from the risk factors for TNBC?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 35-year-old woman reaching out because my mother was just diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, and I am terrified. What are the risk factors for this type of cancer? Is there anything I can do to reduce my own risk? Should I consider genetic testing? If so, at what age should I start? Are there any specific screening guidelines for women with a family history of triple-negative breast cancer? I have read that it is more common in younger women. Is that true? Also, what is the latest research on prevention and treatment for this type of cancer? Are there any lifestyle changes my mother should make to support her treatment? I want to be there for her, but I am scared for myself. Any information you can provide would be helpful. Please help.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Based on the above, do not panic about the occurrence, yet get yourself regularly checked up physically if you feel any sort of discomfort, pain, or lump in your breast or armpit. Genetic testing can be done to check the prevalence of occurrence.

You can opt for homeopathic treatment if you experience any discomfort as early as possible, when the chances of prevention and cure are possible. Also, it is worth noting that being positive and leading a healthy lifestyle prevents most diseases, including cancer.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
