If there is a family hx, it might be good to go to a breast health center or even an oncology group with breast surgeon's/oncologists that specialize. These are expecially good for "high risk" women with a family hx, as they will keep a close eye on your dtr, and may order special tests like an MRI, which can find some cancer's earlier than a mammogram (although MRIs can also show false positives).
