Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER Question?????????????

Hello, I just joined and I have a few questions first of all I'm
Stephanie, I am 33 I have 3 kids, I have a family history of breast
cancer. My maternial great grand mother on my mother's side died of
breast cancer, then earlier in the last year (2007), I was reunited
with my oldest sister on my father side, and found out she has lost
her breast due to breast cancer, and just recently my oldest sister
on my mom's side on Dec. 14th 2007 called and told us she has breat
cancer. My mom and her mom which my grand mother passed away with
Lukiema some years back, but she had cycst in her breast, my mom and
her sister's have cycst, all this I know of and all these women have
been dignosed in thier 40's. Just last week I went to the Dr's for my
check up. As well as to get the Dr. to order me a mamogram, I was
told due to my age the dinsity of my breast my mamogram would not be
a true mamogram... Is that true? Well during my manual breat
examination the Dr. thinks in my left breast there is a possible
cycst, but she also felt a sizable cycst in my right breast. She
called in 2 other Dr's to make sure. They felt both cycst. I have an
appointment for an ultra sound in 2 weeks. They felt with my history,
I should have and ultra sound. Do you think and ultra sound is
better? I'm not going to lie when I say I'm very scared right now.
And I really know nothing about all this, I'm just really starting to
try to learn and what to excpect. I am the youngest in my family to
have the cycst. and I have 2 teenage daughters, when should they
start being checked?
Thank You for your time
Stephanie
