Brief Answer:
Simple Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns about your mother and your future.
She should have regular mammograms as she is having now.
She should take a lot of roughage in the form of salads and fruits and also some antioxidant tablets daily.
Drink lots of water and take almonds, walnuts and soya proteins daily.
Same Precautions apply to you too plus breast self examination on monthly basis.
Also keep a check on your period pattern and also daily bowel movements.
Any symptom even if mild should not be ignored.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha
