Mother and daughter conversation with health
Answers
Answer:
☝️I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ☝️
Explanation:
There are so many important pieces of advice and lessons that we hope to pass along to the young women in our lives. Conversations about growing up and staying healthy come naturally but talking about illness isn’t always included on this list.
Taking the extra time to have the more difficult conversations with your daughter about her breast health and breast cancer risk has the power to greatly improve and extend her own life. In fact, it’s one of the brightest mother-daughter chats you can have.
Personal breast cancer risk accumulates as we age. Decisions we make in our late teens and early 20s can impact our risk of breast cancer later in life, when breast cancer is more likely to occur. And, the health habits we form at early ages can last a lifetime.
While most breast cancers are diagnosed over the age of 50, there were still over 26,000 cases diagnosed under the age 45 in 2017. If you have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer, like a BRCA mutation, we’ve started to see the incidence of cancer rising significantly in women in their 20s and 30s. Why wait to discuss something that your daughter has the chance to be proactive about now?
