Amber, Marketing guru, entering week 12 of treatment for Stage 2 breast cancer

“My Aunt had this. My mother lost her battle with breast cancer. Now it’s my turn. We have to stop this. Put an end to the disease that’s taking the women in so many people’s lives.”. Although family history and genetics are important risk factors for breast cancer, they account for only 5-10 percent of all cases in the U.S. This means most breast cancers are not due to genetic factors, such as BRCA 1 or 2 mutations. But why is Amber’s family continuing to see the trend? Your fundraising and donations to Komen Austin invested $257,818 in research this year alone to help find out! See her story here.
